SOLON, OHIO, USA – January 12, 2026 – PDI Ground Support Systems (PDI) and KWD Aircraft Support Equipment (KWD) – both member companies of The PDI Group – have achieved Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC).  A final assessment of status for CMMC ML2 occurred in December 2025, making both companies fully compliant to DFARS 252.204-7012.

CMMC is a framework developed by the government to ensure defense contractors implement proper security controls throughout their organization to protect controlled unclassified information.  These practices are based on National Institute of Standards (NIST SP 800-171) and are designed to safeguard sensitive data across the Defense Industrial Base.  These cybersecurity requirements include implementing 110 security controls across 14 control families, including Access Control, Awareness and Training, Audit and Accountability, and Configuration Management. 

“We are happy to announce that PDI and KWD are now CMMC level 2 certified,” said Nathan Haber, Vice President—Sales and Business Development.  “The process toward becoming fully compliant across 110 controls was a strenuous task and one that could not have been achieved without the remarkable effort from our third-party consulting firm, CyberNINES.  I want to thank their team, our staff and our IT consulting firm for helping us achieve this certification.”

PDI Ground Support Systems is the OEM for the MHU-110/M and MHU-141/M munitions trailers, and is a leading designer and manufacturer of weapons handling systems and other ground support equipment used by over 50 allied air forces worldwide.  KWD Aircraft Support Equipment is a leading producer of C-130 support equipment, including propeller dollies, engine dollies, aircraft engine slings, and other products designed to carry, transport and store aircraft accessories.
