Rheinmetall AG announced that its U.S. subsidiary, American Rheinmetall, has achieved CMMC Level 2 cybersecurity certification across all six of its manufacturing plants.
The certification confirms compliance with 110 security controls under the NIST SP 800-171 framework, ensuring protection of sensitive defense information across the Defense Industrial Base.
This milestone is strategically important, as CMMC compliance is becoming mandatory for participation in future U.S. Department of Defense contract tenders. Achieving Level 2 certification positions the company to compete for larger and more security-sensitive defense programs.
The certification follows several years of investment in cybersecurity infrastructure, policies, and workforce training, reflecting a company-wide effort to strengthen resilience against increasing cyber threats.
Overall, the development enhances Rheinmetall’s credibility as a secure defense manufacturing partner and supports its long-term growth in the U.S. defense market.
