Eutelsat
Network Solutions Strengthens
Cybersecurity Compliance with CMMC Level
2 Certification
October 20,
2026
Eutelsat Network
Solutions, has achieved Cybersecurity
Maturity Model Certification (CMMC)
Level 2. The independent C3PAO
validation, for both internal and
external enclaves, demonstrates the
company’s ongoing investment and
commitment to security, resilience and
trust across its GEO and LEO satellite
connectivity portfolio of solutions and
services.
With fewer than
three percent of the Defense Industrial
Base (DIB) holding CMMC Level 2
certification, the company stands at the
forefront of security compliance for the
defense community.
This achievement
makes Eutelsat Network Solutions capable
of properly handling and storing
Controlled Unclassified Information
(CUI) and Federal Contract Information
(FCI) in support of U.S. government
programs, primarily the U.S. Department
of War (DoW) and other federal
government offices and agencies.
“This CMMC Level 2
(Advanced) certification reflects our
commitment to meeting the highest
standards of security and performance
for our U.S. government customers,” said
Ian Canning, president and CEO, Eutelsat
Network Solutions. “In an increasingly
complex threat landscape, this
certification is yet another clear
differentiator for Eutelsat Network
Solutions. It reflects how security is
central to how we design, operate and
evolve our connectivity services.”
The CMMC program
sets the cybersecurity standard for
companies that support the U.S. DoW. The
third-party CMMC assessment requires a
significant investment in segregated
networks, continuous monitoring,
encrypted communications and rigorous
documentation. Level 2 requires
organizations, such as Eutelsat Network
Solutions, to implement the 110 security
controls in NIST SP 800-171 to protect
CUI with the external audit requiring
evidence across 400 plus elements
meeting more than 1,200 objectives.
Eutelsat Network
Solutions is a wholly owned, independent
U.S. proxy company and subsidiary of
Eutelsat.
