Kloud9 Guides Client to CMMC Level 2 Certification with Perfect Score Among First 1,000 Nationwide

Kloud9 client earns perfect-score CMMC Level 2, among first 1,000 nationwide, after 400-hour effort.

Cleveland, Ohio, United States, January 21, 2026 — Kloud9 is pleased to announce that one of its clients has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 with a perfect score on the organization’s first assessment, placing the client among the first 1,000 companies in the United States to reach this milestone.

CMMC Level 2 is designed for organizations that handle sensitive government information and must demonstrate implementation of the 110 security requirements aligned to NIST SP 800-171. Kloud9 supported the client through end-to-end readiness efforts, including secure architecture planning, cloud integrations, evidence development, and validation of technical and administrative controls.

The engagement included nearly 400 hours of joint work focused on assessment preparedness and execution. Activities included aligning security policies and procedures with operational realities, mapping control objectives to system configurations, strengthening access control and monitoring practices, and ensuring documentation supported both implementation and sustainment. Kloud9 also assisted with test planning to help confirm that control outcomes were repeatable and defensible under independent review.

In addition, Kloud9 noted that it has also achieved CMMC Level 2 certification, reflecting third-party validation of its own cybersecurity program. Kloud9 stated that CMMC Level 2–certified MSPs remain uncommon nationwide, and the company is part of a small group that have earned the designation.

“CMMC Level 2 is a demanding standard, and a perfect-score outcome requires disciplined execution across people, process, and technology,” says Trent Milliron, Founder of Kloud9. “Credit belongs to the client team for staying engaged through every requirement and decision point, and for prioritizing a security-first culture that can be sustained beyond the assessment.”

Kloud9 noted that results like this are typically driven by strong internal ownership paired with structured readiness methods. The company’s approach to CMMC readiness is designed to help clients move from initial gap identification through implementation and sustained compliance, with an emphasis on practical controls, clear evidence, and operational continuity.

With federal compliance expectations and cybersecurity threats continuing to evolve, defense contractors and other regulated organizations are increasingly prioritizing measurable security programs that can be validated by independent assessors. Kloud9 provides managed IT and cybersecurity services tailored to regulated environments and supports organizations working toward compliance with frameworks such as CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
