Schnabel Engineering Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification

(GLEN ALLEN, VA)—Schnabel Engineering has officially earned Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification—a Department of Defense (DoD) program that ensures defense contractors meet existing information security requirements to help protect sensitive unclassified information.

Achieving CMMC Level 2 is a significant milestone for any contractor working with the DoD because it verifies that an organization can reliably protect sensitive defense information from modern cyber threats. For Schnabel, this certification expands its ability to pursue and deliver projects that involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and federal contract data.

“Cybersecurity is a governance priority for our organization,” said Patrick Vanderpool, Assistant
General Counsel and Vice President at Schnabel Engineering. “Completing our CMMC audit
reflects our commitment to protecting federal information, strengthening internal controls, and
maintaining trust with our clients and partners.”

“Achieving CMMC Level 2 certification is a critical milestone for Schnabel Engineering,” added
Scott Narron, Chief Information Officer at Schnabel Engineering. “This reinforces our
commitment to protecting client data and meeting the highest standards of cybersecurity
expected by our federal and defense-sector clients. In addition, this certification reflects
executive leadership’s sustained investment in security, compliance, and internal controls.”

Schnabel is now among the first 1,000 companies—out of roughly 100,000 federal contractors expected to need certification—to achieve this three-year certification, which became a requirement by the DoD in November 2025. Schnabel received the official CMMC Level 2 certification following a rigorous assessment by third-party vendor C3PAO, Ignyte Platform Inc.
