Palantir Technologies Achieves Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR), today announced it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 through an assessment by a CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (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 robust cybersecurity posture and its ability to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for U.S. Department of War (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 (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 (IL5), and DoD Impact Level 6 (IL6) 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 (DIB) and ensure that contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) 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.
Empowering the Defense Industrial Base Through FedStart
Beyond Palantir's own CMMC compliance, the company is uniquely positioned to help other SaaS companies achieve federal compliance and access DoW opportunities through Palantir FedStart. By leveraging the groundwork Palantir has already laid, partners can bypass the complexity of federal certification and instead rely on FedStart's streamlined, ready-made pathway to FedRAMP authorization and CMMC compliance. This allows them to focus on pursuing opportunities within the DoW, DIB, federal civilian agencies, and commercial markets that demand not only strong security but also require compliance.
Palantir FedStart is an offering that enables companies to run their SaaS applications in a secure, accredited environment to rapidly meet the compliance requirements of both Federal agencies and across the Department of War. Rather than independently investing significant time, money, and resources into compliance, SaaS companies can leverage Palantir's proven secure infrastructure and decades of government experience.
FedStart is a bridge for businesses with innovative technology that can benefit the Department of War. A common challenge is that these businesses often do not have the resources or time to build out the environments the DoW requires to operate. FedStart offers them the ability to leverage Palantir's expertise and proven credibility in running these environments and allowing those companies to focus on their core technologies instead.
