Leading the Way: How Precise Systems Sets the Standard for Cybersecurity Excellence
When Precise Systems announced its achievement of CMMC 2.0 Level 2 certification, it marked more than a compliance milestone—it underscored a long-standing commitment to security, accountability, and mission-ready performance across the defense ecosystem.
A Culture of Cyber Readiness
At Precise, cybersecurity isn’t treated as a checklist—it’s embedded into every stage of operations, from proposal development to systems engineering and lifecycle support. The company’s integrated approach aligns with NIST SP 800-171 controls and ensures that both internal systems and partner interactions meet the highest standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
This certification validates that every process—user access, network monitoring, risk management, incident response—is executed with discipline and documentation. The outcome is a workforce that understands cyber accountability not just as policy, but as a shared responsibility.
Why It Matters to the Defense Industrial Base
With CMMC requirements rapidly expanding across Department of Defense contracts, companies that haven’t yet met Level 2 standards are facing new barriers to entry. Precise’s early certification puts it ahead of that curve—offering customers and partners immediate assurance that they’re working with a trusted, validated supplier.
For government program offices, this means reduced risk and faster contracting confidence. For teaming partners, it means seamless compliance alignment and fewer administrative hurdles when pursuing joint opportunities.
More Than Compliance—A Competitive Edge
Precise’s cybersecurity framework is built on continuous improvement. Beyond the technical controls, the company invests in employee training, secure collaboration environments, and proactive system assessments. These practices ensure resilience against emerging threats and position Precise to scale securely as mission demands evolve.
The certification also enhances Precise’s core capability areas—Advanced Engineering, Digital Transformation, Interactive Training & Simulation, Platform Lifecycle Support, Foreign Military Sales, and Physical Sciences & Electromagnetic Warfare—each of which relies on the integrity of digital systems and protected data.
Looking Ahead
As CMMC 2.0 becomes the new baseline across the defense industrial base, Precise’s proactive certification reflects a forward-looking strategy. It demonstrates readiness not only for today’s standards, but for the evolving security landscape that will define tomorrow’s missions.
In short: Precise isn’t waiting for mandates to drive change—it’s setting the benchmark for cybersecurity excellence.

#PeopleOfPrecise: Meet Ana Richey
Meet Ana Richey – Human Resources manager, breast cancer survivor, and Precise Systems’ employee spotlight for October 2025.
October is nationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where we take time to honor our fighters, survivors, caretakers, angels, and warriors. We also get the chance to share the inspiring stories of individuals who have battled the hurdles and challenges of breast cancer, including our very own – Ana Richey.
Ana joined our Human Resources team in November 2023 during our acquisition of Excet, Inc. Since then, she has made a bright and lasting impact on our employees, her teammates, and our entire Precise Team. Her favorite aspect of working in Human Resources is the chance to build genuine connections with our employees. She believes that strong employee relationships are the foundation of a positive and productive workplace, saying, “Developing these relationships allows me to better understand their individual work situations and provide more meaningful, personalized support.”
As someone who describes herself as resilient, dependable, and loyal, Ana knows that working in Human Resources is the perfect career for her. These traits also got her through a tough and challenging period of her life – battling breast cancer.
Throughout her breast cancer journey, Ana’s family, friends, and faith remained constant sources of strength and inspiration for her, teaching her the power of resilience, gratitude, and hope. Their support gave her a truly tangible strength that lifted her up and kept her going, even through the most difficult moments.
When asked what advice she would give to anyone currently going through cancer treatment, Ana says, “Take it one day at a time. Some days will be hard, and that’s okay. Allow yourself to feel everything. Don’t try to be strong every single moment; just be real. Lean on the people who love you and let their strength carry you when your energy runs low.” She emphasizes how important it is to keep sight of who you are and to know that you are still the same person, just stronger, braver, and more aware of what truly matters. Knowing that better days will come is paramount to overcoming this battle.
Ana has always been inspired by those who face challenges head-on and do not back down when things get tough. One of these figures is Queen Elizabeth II, who she would love the chance to sit down and have dinner with! She explains, “I’d love to ask her how she balanced motherhood with her royal duties. I think hearing her perspective would be incredibly inspiring, because it would show how she managed immense responsibility while remaining committed to her family and her role. I believe her insight would say a lot about resilience, grace under pressure, and the quiet strength it takes to lead a life of service while staying true to oneself.”
To Ana and all of those whose lives have been affected by breast cancer – thank you for your strength, your resilience, and your courage. We are inspired by you, this month and beyond, and we are grateful for the chance to share your stories.
