This CMMC Level 2 certification is vital for aerospace and defense, signaling Stell Engineering as a highly trusted partner capable of securely handling sensitive CUI. It assures government contractors and agencies that Stell's AI-native tools meet stringent national security standards, critical for safeguarding mission-essential data and ensuring program integrity in high-stakes environments.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Stell Engineering, a leader in AI-native requirements management for aerospace and defense, proudly announces its achievement of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. Validated by an independent C3PAO, this certification confirms Stell's robust implementation of NIST SP 800-171 security controls. It officially validates the company's ability to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) processed for critical government and defense customers, fostering trust in high-stakes program environments.
The CMMC Level 2 validation specifically addresses Stell's cybersecurity practices for CUI within the Cuick Trac Managed Enclave (CTME), a FedRAMP-authorized virtual environment vital for defense program data. The rigorous assessment verified Stell's comprehensive governance framework—encompassing access controls, risk management, and incident response—meets all 110 NIST SP 800-171 R2 security practices. This underscores Stell Engineering’s commitment to delivering secure solutions essential for mission-critical aerospace and defense initiatives.
Stell's platform is available across diverse deployment environments, including an active Authority to Operate (ATO) for its DoD Impact Level 5 (IL5) offering on AWS GovCloud. The company also pursues FedRAMP Moderate equivalency for its commercial platform. This ensures every Stell customer benefits from infrastructure built to the same stringent security standards, featuring continuous monitoring and robust compliance consistent with Stell's IL5 ATO, guaranteeing consistent, high-level protection.
