\nBARR joins an elite group of firms authorized to perform certification assessments for organizations pursuing CMMC Level 2 compliance.<\/i><\/p>

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BARR Advisory<\/a>, a global cybersecurity and compliance firm, has achieved authorization as a Certified CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO). The designation allows BARR to perform formal certification assessments for organizations pursuing Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 compliance.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\n\u201cOur team has deep experience guiding organizations through complex compliance initiatives, and this accreditation allows us to extend that expertise into formal CMMC certification assessment services,\u201d said Cameron Kline<\/a>, practice leader of attest services at BARR Advisory.<\/p>

\nCMMC is a cybersecurity framework developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)\u2014also known as the U.S. Department of War\u2014that outlines security requirements for organizations handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The framework is designed to strengthen cybersecurity across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and protect sensitive government information from evolving threats.<\/p>

\nAs a C3PAO, BARR Advisory is authorized to conduct CMMC Level 2 certification assessments, providing organizations with the validation required to demonstrate compliance with the DoD\u2019s cybersecurity standards.<\/p>

\n\u201cFor organizations, achieving CMMC compliance not only opens up doors to new defense contracting opportunities, but it also provides a strong foundation for managing risk, protecting sensitive data, and building long-term cyber resilience,\u201d Kline said. \u201cWe look forward to helping defense contractors, suppliers, and organizations across the broader defense contracting ecosystem confidently navigate the certification process and secure eligibility for critical government contracts.\u201d<\/p>

\nBARR\u2019s designation as a C3PAO comes just months after the firm announced<\/a> it was among the first 10 U.S. firms accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) to certify against the three standalone ISO\/IEC frameworks for management systems: ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001.<\/p>

\nBARR is also part of an elite group of U.S. firms that is eligible to perform attestations against all of the leading global cybersecurity and compliance frameworks, which include ISO 27001, SOC 2, HITRUST, and PCI DSS.<\/p>
