Tanium Achieves Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2
Tanium has officially attained Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. This significant milestone instills confidence among the Department of War (DoW), defense contractors, subcontractors, and research institutions, affirming the capability of the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while adhering to DoW compliance mandates.
As a recognized leader in cybersecurity solutions, Tanium’s CMMC Level 2 certification signifies successful completion of a rigorous evaluation by a third-party assessor, confirming the company’s effective implementation of essential security controls.
Given that CMMC compliance is now a stringent requirement for eligibility in DoW contracts, this certification ensures that clients have access to a dependable and secure platform for managing sensitive operations and maintaining audit-ready cybersecurity practices.
“Securing CMMC Level 2 exemplifies Tanium’s unwavering commitment to preserving the confidentiality of government data utilized by organizations engaged in bolstering the nation’s defense mission,” stated Chris Hallenbeck, Chief Information Security Officer at Tanium.
Defense contractors necessitate partnerships with technology vendors who uphold the same high standards that they are mandated to meet.
This certification instills further confidence in our customers that Tanium effectively supports their most sensitive environments while facilitating their compliance initiatives.
This achievement not only validates Tanium’s security framework but also provides immediate benefits to customers throughout the U.S.
Defense Industrial Base. Under the requirements of CMMC flow-down, defense contractors are mandated to ensure that their partners and tools also adhere to CMMC standards.
Consequently, Tanium’s certification eliminates obstacles for organizations striving for a compliant endpoint management and security solution, assisting contractors, subcontractors, and educational entities in accelerating readiness and retaining contract eligibility.
The Tanium Autonomous IT Platform integrates endpoint management with security, leveraging artificial intelligence and real-time insights.
Its features encompass discovery, asset management, reporting, patching, third-party application management, provisioning, configuration, policy enforcement, change tracking, and performance assessment.
These functionalities aid contractors in fulfilling the security and documentation prerequisites elucidated by CMMC.
Entities operating within the Tanium Cloud for the U.S. government, which has held authorization at the FedRAMP Moderate Impact Level since 2023, can also capitalize on a streamlined pathway to compliance due to the Department of War CIO’s designation of equivalency for CMMC Level 2 cloud workloads.
Tanium’s recent CMMC Level 2 certification complements the company’s expanding array of governmental and international security certifications, reinforcing its enduring commitment to excellence in security.
