BAE Networks Achieves CMMC Level 2

Setting a New Standard for Michigan Managed IT Providers

At BAE Networks, security isn’t an afterthought: it’s the foundation of everything we do. We’re proud to announce that BAE Networks is now Michigan’s first Managed Service Provider ("MSP") to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") Level 2 compliance.

This milestone puts us at the forefront of cybersecurity excellence just as the Department of Defense prepares to enforce CMMC requirements across its contractor supply chain. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on September 10, meaning that contractors will have until November 10, 2025 to comply with CMMC becoming mandatory. By investing early, we have positioned ourselves to guide Michigan businesses through this transition with confidence.

Accomplishing CMMC Level 2 Certification

Earning CMMC Level 2 was a year-long, company-wide commitment. Our team:

• Implemented 110 security controls

• Produced over 1,100 pages of documentation

• Completed rigorous third-party audits and staff interviews

Auditors recognized the depth and thoroughness of our approach, commending us for going beyond the minimum requirements and raising the bar for MSPs statewide.

Why This Matters for Michigan Businesses

CMMC isn’t just a defense contractor issue. Its influence is already shaping how organizations think about security, compliance, and resilience. By achieving Level 2 ahead of the curve, we demonstrate our ability to help Michigan’s small and mid-sized businesses meet today’s cybersecurity challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s.

A Legacy of Partnership and Innovation

Since 2014, BAE Networks has grown through client referrals by delivering affordable, scalable IT solutions and unmatched customer service. From cybersecurity and compliance to cabling and physical security, we’ve built our reputation as a turn-key technology partner dedicated to helping organizations modernize operations and protect what matters most.

Looking Ahead

“Our team didn’t just rise to the challenge — we embraced it,” said Ryan Baetens, President of BAE Networks. “CMMC Level 2 reflects our commitment to excellence and our promise to always aim higher.”

As Michigan’s first CMMC Level 2 MSP, BAE Networks is setting a benchmark for what it means to be secure, compliant, and ready for the future.
