Case Study: Capella Space Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification with Summit 7

Capella Space achieves CMMC Level 2 with Summit 7

Capella Space, a pioneering American space technology company, faced mounting cybersecurity and compliance challenges as it scaled to meet U.S. government and commercial demand. They needed to protect sensitive satellite data and intellectual property while meeting strict frameworks like CMMC, DFARS, and NIST SP 800-171, all without slowing their agile development. To address this, they partnered with cybersecurity vendor Summit 7.

Summit 7 implemented a multifaceted solution, including strategic compliance roadmapping and their Guardian platform for continuous monitoring and automated evidence collection. This partnership enabled Capella Space to successfully achieve CMMC Level 2 certification, making them one of the first aerospace companies to do so. The results provided a significant competitive edge for bidding on Department of Defense contracts, elevated their security operations, and created a future-proof compliance program.
