Industry estimates indicate that many contractors remain unprepared for certification, creating a clear advantage for organizations that have already aligned with the framework.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">With this certification, RAKIA has implemented foundational cybersecurity controls required to safeguard Federal Contract Information (FCI), enabling expanded participation in DoD programs, federal and state-level initiatives, law enforcement operations, and partnerships across the defense ecosystem. The milestone strengthens the company\u2019s growing presence in Washington, D.C., and supports its expanding pipeline across public sector opportunities.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As enforcement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=wbszZSvx8xWhP5TLvXe6ngWoDC8-YHn7md4qiTOMoID1avFs1nxskEY1RWuclazf\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><u>CMMC<\/u><\/a> accelerates, compliance is increasingly viewed not only as a regulatory requirement but also as a strategic growth lever, directly impacting market access, procurement velocity, and long-term revenue visibility.
