Certification reinforces Willrich’s commitment to cybersecurity excellence and Department of Defense compliance.
CRESSKILL, NJ, UNITED STATES, January 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Willrich Precision Instrument, a trusted authority in gaging, inspection, and metrology solutions for more than five decades, today announced that it has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 Level 2. This milestone confirms that Willrich meets the rigorous cybersecurity requirements established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
CMMC 2.0 is a DoD-mandated cybersecurity framework designed to strengthen the protection of sensitive government information shared across the defense supply chain. The program establishes tiered certification levels aligned with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines and is now a prerequisite for many defense-related contracts. CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certification, in particular, aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and requires the demonstrated implementation of 110 security controls, validated through an independent assessment conducted by an accredited Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
For companies that store, process, or transmit CUI, CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certification is mandatory. Organizations without certification risk losing eligibility to compete for or maintain Department of Defense contracts. By achieving this certification, Willrich Precision Instrument has formally demonstrated to the DoD that it possesses the cybersecurity maturity required to protect sensitive information against evolving cyber threats.
The certification process involved a comprehensive review of Willrich’s cybersecurity program, including access control policies, incident response planning, system monitoring, data protection measures, and risk management practices. Level 2 certification requires that these controls are not only documented but actively implemented and sustained across the organization. Willrich’s successful assessment confirms that its cybersecurity practices meet federal expectations for safeguarding controlled information.
As cyber threats continue to target manufacturers and suppliers within the defense and industrial sectors, the DoD has emphasized cybersecurity resilience as a national security priority. CMMC 2.0 streamlines earlier certification models while maintaining strict compliance standards, ensuring that contractors demonstrate real, verifiable security maturity rather than theoretical compliance. Willrich’s certification reflects a proactive investment in cybersecurity readiness and long-term operational resilience.
