Palantir acchieves CMMC Level 2 by C3PAO

Palantir (PLTR) Technologies announced it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC, Level 2 through an assessment by a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization, or C3PAO. CMMC Certification through C3PAO assessment reinforces Palantir’s commitment to securing national defense data and supporting critical government missions. This certification validates Palantir’s cybersecurity posture and its ability to handle Controlled Unclassified Information, or CUI, for U.S. Department of War, or DoW, contracts and other federal government programs. The CMMC Level 2 certification demonstrates Palantir’s implementation of the security requirements from National Institutes of Standards and Technology Special Publication, or NIST SP, 800-171, confirming the company’s ability to protect sensitive government data while supporting critical national security missions. This achievement builds upon Palantir’s existing comprehensive portfolio of federal security authorizations, including FedRAMP High, DoD Impact Level 5 and DoD Impact Level 6 accreditations, reinforcing the company’s position as a trusted partner for defense and intelligence agencies across all classification levels. The CMMC program was established by the DoW to combat increasing cyber threats to the Defense Industrial Base and ensure that contractors handling Federal Contract Information and Controlled Unclassified Information meet stringent cybersecurity standards. CMMC Level 2 certification is particularly critical for organizations seeking to participate in DoW contracts involving CUI, as it demonstrates their ability to protect sensitive information from advanced cyber threats.
