The 20 MSP Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification with Perfect Assessment Score
National managed service provider earns top assessment score with zero findings, reinforcing commitment to cybersecurity and defense contractor compliance
The 20 MSP, a leading provider of managed IT services with offices nationwide, today announced that it has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 following an independent assessment conducted by Sera Brynn, a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
The 20 achieved a perfect score of 110, meeting all applicable assessment requirements with zero findings and no items requiring remediation. The assessment was completed in just a day and a half, reflecting the company’s extensive preparation, disciplined approach to compliance, and commitment to maintaining rigorous security standards.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program, established by the U.S. Department of Defense, is designed to strengthen cybersecurity protections across the Defense Industrial Base. CMMC Level 2 assesses an organization’s implementation of security requirements based on NIST Special Publication 800-171, which establishes safeguards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in nonfederal systems and organizations.
For The 20 MSP, achieving CMMC Level 2 Certification represents much more than a compliance milestone. As a managed service provider supporting defense contractors navigating CMMC requirements, the company has now completed the same rigorous process many of its clients are working toward. This firsthand experience reinforces The 20’s ability to understand the challenges of certification, provide informed guidance, and help clients strengthen their own cybersecurity and compliance programs.
“Achieving CMMC Level 2 Certification with a perfect score and zero findings is a tremendous accomplishment for our team,” said Rob Tessanne, Director of Compliance at The 20 MSP. “This result reflects all the hard work that went into preparing for the assessment, but it also demonstrates something bigger: we hold ourselves to the very same high standards we ask our clients to meet. Having gone through this process ourselves, we have an even deeper understanding of what it takes to achieve CMMC compliance and the importance of getting it right.”
The successful assessment reflects a coordinated effort across The 20’s compliance team and the broader organization. From developing comprehensive documentation and gathering evidence to validating that documented policies aligned with actual operational practices, the team worked to ensure that every assessment requirement was addressed and supported. The result was a smooth, efficient assessment and a successful first-time outcome.
As CMMC requirements continue to shape cybersecurity expectations across the defense supply chain, The 20 MSP remains focused on helping organizations navigate an increasingly demanding compliance landscape while maintaining strong security practices. By achieving Level 2 Certification itself, the company further demonstrates its commitment to the security, accountability, and operational rigor it brings to its clients.
