# South Korean SNT Dynamics Earns CMMC Certification

SNT Dynamics announced on November 3, 2026, that it became the first South Korean defense company to receive U.S. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, after an assessment covering more than 110 security controls and 320 evaluation objectives. The U.S. Department of War plans to require Level 2 or higher for certain defense supply-chain, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and production work. The certification may make SNT Dynamics eligible to compete for those opportunities, but no solicitation, contract award, value, or procurement timeline was reported.

- U.S. defense contractors can assess SNT Dynamics as a potential source or teaming candidate for MRO and production work; certification may support eligibility but does not guarantee an award.
- Companies pursuing the affected work should distinguish the department’s stated plan for a Level 2 prerequisite from an announced solicitation or an existing contract-specific requirement.
- SNT Dynamics had previously obtained Level 1 certification in June 2024 and has now advanced to Level 2, which may strengthen its position in U.S. defense supply-chain competition.
