The milestone reflects OPT’s continued investment in cybersecurity and secure operations as the Company expands its portfolio of autonomous maritime solutions supporting US and allied defense customers. Achieving CMMC Level 2 compliance aligns with the cybersecurity requirements applicable to a growing number of Department of War contracts and further enhances OPT’s ability to pursue opportunities requiring the secure handling of sensitive information.
“The cybersecurity requirements associated with defense programs continue to evolve, and meeting those requirements has become an important part of doing business with the US Government,” said Jason Weed, Senior Vice President, Commercial Sales. “Achieving CMMC Level 2 compliance reflects another investment in the capabilities our defense customers expect from their industry partners. As OPT continues to expand across maritime intelligence, autonomous systems, and maritime security, we believe that this milestone strengthens our ability to compete for new opportunities and support increasingly sensitive missions.”
Cybersecurity has become a foundational requirement across the defense industrial base as the Department of War continues to strengthen protections for sensitive information supporting national security missions. By achieving CMMC Level 2 compliance, OPT further demonstrates its commitment to maintaining the security, resilience, and operational integrity expected by its government customers and partners.
OPT continues to build on its momentum across the defense sector through the deployment of autonomous maritime systems supporting US Government customers, the expansion of its global defense partnerships, and ongoing investments in secure, resilient technologies that enable persistent maritime domain awareness and operational advantage. The addition of CMMC Level 2 compliance further strengthens the Company’s position as a trusted provider of maritime operational infrastructure supporting defense, maritime security, and national security missions.
