CANNON FALLS, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gemstar Manufacturing announces a significant achievement in its commitment to cybersecurity excellence. As of December 29, 2023, Gemstar successfully completed the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 Self-Certification, marking a pivotal step in fortifying the company’s security. This certification reflects Gemstar’s proactive approach to ensuring the safety of its business operations and safeguarding proprietary information received from valued customers.
“Empowered by dedication and resilience, Gemstar proudly stands at the pinnacle of cybersecurity excellence, achieving Level 2 CMMC self-certification —a testament to our unwavering commitment to advancing our cybersecurity posture and protecting sensitive information from cyber threats,” said Chase Williams, Gemstar’s Security and Compliance Manager.
