New England Keyboard, a subsidiary of Nelson Miller Group, has achieved Final Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2. This milestone confirms the manufacturer meets rigorous federal standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information, positioning the firm to handle sensitive projects within the aerospace and defense sectors.

Chief Executive Officer Rich Fitzgerald noted that the achievement reflects a long-term strategy of investing in systems and personnel to meet evolving industry mandates.
