Case Study: Slingshot Aerospace achieves CMMC compliance and wins a $27M contract with Island

Slingshot Aerospace achieves CMMC in 6 months and wins $27M with Island

Slingshot Aerospace, a provider of space products and services, needed to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to qualify for a major U.S. defense contract. The lengthy and complex certification process posed a significant risk, as failure would disqualify them from high-security work. They turned to the Island browser to help meet the strict federal security mandates.

By implementing the Island browser, Slingshot gained control over data flow and integrated AI securely into their operations. With Island, they achieved CMMC Level 1 compliance in just six months instead of the typical two years, which directly enabled them to win an 18-month, $27 million contract with the U.S. Space Force. Island also delivered substantial cost savings, estimated at nearly $1 million annually by eliminating the need for additional staff and reducing cybersecurity risk.
