The CMMC C3PAO designation reinforces Fortreum's role as a trusted partner in safeguarding the defense industrial base through independent, high-assurance cybersecurity assessments.

LANSDOWNE, Va., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fortreum, a premier cloud and cybersecurity services provider, is proud to announce that it has been officially authorized as a Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO) by the Cyber AB under the Department of Defense's (DoD) CMMC program.

This milestone positions Fortreum among an elite group of organizations capable of conducting official CMMC assessments for defense contractors seeking certification. The C3PAO designation reinforces Fortreum's role as a trusted partner in safeguarding the defense industrial base through independent, high-assurance cybersecurity assessments.

"Achieving C3PAO status reflects our unwavering commitment to national security and our dedication to helping DoD Defense Industrial Base (DIB) organizations strengthen their cyber posture in alignment with CMMC requirements," said Michael Carter, Managing Partner and Co-founder of Fortreum.

As a C3PAO, Fortreum will expand our CMMC services (both on assessment and advisory), helping DoD DIB suppliers validate their cybersecurity readiness and fulfill contract obligations that protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). DIB contractors can learn more on how to prepare for CMMC through a comprehensive Guide for Defense Contractors, available upon request.

This latest credential builds on Fortreum's rapidly growing portfolio of compliance and assurance services, including Fortreum's recent ANAB-issued ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 accreditations. Through its XRAMP platform, Fortreum offers a unified approach to compliance that streamlines risk management, enabling clients to navigate regulatory complexity with confidence.
