ATLANTA, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DLH Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:DLHC) ("DLH" or the "Company"), a leading provider of digital transformation and cybersecurity, systems engineering and integration, and science research and development, today announced that it has achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2.

The CMMC Program is designed to enforce the protection of sensitive unclassified information shared by the Department of Defense (DoD) with its contracting base.

To achieve Level 2 certification, DLH was required to complete a rigorous audit which verified compliance with over one hundred security requirements outlined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to confirm the Company's ability to secure national defense data.

"This achievement validates DLH's ability to carry out national security missions with efficiency, security, and agility," said Zach Parker, DLH President & CEO. "Customers know that DLH leverages its core capabilities and commercial best practices to deploy resilient systems which are built to withstand the rigors of the modern threat environment."

CMMC 2.0 requirements are expected to begin appearing in new DoD solicitations as early as November 2025. Achieving this certification positions DLH to compete for new business across the federal contracting landscape.
