UTRS Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification
Marlton, NJ, August 20, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Universal Technical Resource Services, Inc. (UTRS), a dedicated technology, engineering, and manufacturing firm, today announced the successful completion of its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, as of August 14, 2026.
CMMC was developed by the Department of War/Department of Defense (DoW/DoD) to protect our national security by ensuring cybersecurity controls and processes adequately protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) residing on Defense Industrial Base (DIB) systems and networks.
“Despite regulatory pauses designed to alleviate pressure on small businesses, UTRS took the proactive step to secure our CMMC Level 2 certification now,” said Debra Marchese, UTRS Vice President of Information Technology Systems. “The certification demonstrates that UTRS delivers the agility of a small, non-traditional contractor backed by the uncompromising cyber posture expected of a market leader.”
The CMMC assessment process was conducted by leading CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO) A-LIGN, an experienced federal assessor and compliance partner trusted by more than 6,400 global organizations to help mitigate cybersecurity risks.
“Congratulations to Universal Technical Resource Services, Inc. for achieving CMMC Level 2 certification. This accomplishment demonstrates a strong commitment to safeguarding valuable information to protect our nation, developing a competitive advantage, and creating a culture of security,” said Petar Besalev, Executive Vice President of Compliance and Cybersecurity Services at A-LIGN. “We’re proud to support this integral step in UTRS’s compliance journey with a high-quality assessment process and deep expertise in federal compliance.”
Achieving this milestone required the dedication of employees across every department of UTRS, along with the guidance of its trusted CMMC compliance partner, Summit 7, whose expertise was instrumental in guiding UTRS through the process.
This certification demonstrates UTRS’s commitment to safeguarding the United States’ national security by complying with CMMC’s rigorous standards and protecting federal contract information and certified unclassified information.
