# Finch AI Achieves CMMC Level 2 Certification

On November 4, 2026, Finch AI announced it had achieved CMMC Level 2 certification following an independent assessment by authorized C3PAO Ace of Cloud. The certification indicates Finch AI implemented the 110 security practices in NIST SP 800-171 and strengthens its positioning for federal defense work involving Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The announcement does not identify a new contract award.

- Defense procurement teams evaluating suppliers for work involving CUI can consider Finch AI’s certification as evidence of its assessed security posture.
- Defense contractors handling CUI may find the announcement relevant to their own CMMC readiness and competitive positioning; the signal describes Finch AI’s certification, not a new requirement or contract opportunity.
- Ace of Cloud conducted the independent assessment, while KTL Solutions is identified as an advisor to Finch AI’s certification process.
