SAN ANTONIO \u2014 March 3, 2026 \u2014 Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has officially achieved CMMC Level 2 certification through an independent, third-party assessment, demonstrating a commitment to cybersecurity best practices for government and industry.The U.S. government created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program to enhance security of sensitive information. It provides a framework designed to validate requirements recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.\u201cOur leadership has made a significant investment into CMMC,\u201d said Stephan Polinsky, SwRI\u2019s chief information security officer. \u201cSwRI is working to integrate these practices into business lifecycles to ensure consistent adherence to secure procedures across the organization for years to come.\u201dThe certification applies to SwRI\u2019s Intelligent Systems and Mechanical Engineering divisions. Level 2 certification can only be obtained through an independent self-assessment authorized by a third-party CMMC assessment organization.\u201cThis independent assessment demonstrates a commitment to the rigor of the process,\u201d said Dr. Steve Dellenback, vice president of the Intelligent Systems Division. \u201cWe are proud to be an early adopter and to have achieved the Level 2 certification.\u201dTo obtain Level 2 certification, SwRI had to meet 110 requirements related to topics such as access controls, awareness, training, accountability, incident response, personnel security, physical protection and more. The certification will be up for renewal in three years. SwRI will affirm its compliance with security requirements annually.\u201cAdhering to the CMMC program increases our cybersecurity capabilities, allowing us to better protect our clients\u2019 data,\u201d said Dr. Barron Bichon, vice president of the Mechanical Engineering Division. \u201cAnd over time, the entire Institute and our clients will benefit through a culture that promotes maturing processes.\u201dSwRI\u2019s Intelligent Systems Division specializes in applied research using computer science and engineering disciplines to solve automation challenges in the transportation, manufacturing and medical environments. The Mechanical Engineering Division offers R&D expertise in engineering dynamics, fluids, machinery, structures and materials.To learn more visit https:\/\/www.swri.org\/markets\/electronics-automation\/computational-modeling-simulation-tools\/cybersecurity-services.<\/p>\n
