Granite Construction announced that it has earned Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2, the standard required for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. The company passed all 110 security controls and 320 assessment objectives during a third‑party assessment conducted by a certified C3PAO.
Level 2 certification is a key prerequisite for a growing number of federal contracts. Beginning November 10, 2025, new DoD contracts require CMMC compliance, and by October 31, 2026 all DoD contracts will mandate the appropriate level. With fewer than 500 firms out of an anticipated 80,000 federal contractors holding Level 2, Granite’s early adoption positions it to bid on higher‑value projects and secure a larger share of the federal construction market.
Granite’s financial performance underscores its capacity to capitalize on new opportunities. In Q3 2025 the company generated $1.43 billion in revenue, up 12% year‑over‑year, and reported adjusted net income of $124 million, a 36% increase, with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.70. The full‑year 2024 results showed revenue of $4.0 billion, up 14%, and an adjusted diluted EPS of $4.82. A record $6.3 billion in committed and awarded projects (CAP) and recent acquisitions of Warren Paving and Papich Construction for $710 million further strengthen its backlog and supply‑chain footprint.
Granite’s Chief Technology Officer Malcolm Jack said the certification “is a remarkable accomplishment that reflects two years of disciplined investment in infrastructure, policies, and training.” Vice President of Federal Operations Curt Haldeman added that Level 2 “is a transformative milestone that puts Granite ahead of the curve and ready to tackle CMMC contracts for our federal clients and partners.”
The certification not only opens new revenue streams but also signals to federal agencies that Granite has met rigorous cybersecurity standards, reducing risk and accelerating contract award timelines. With its growing backlog and recent strategic acquisitions, the company is well positioned to win the higher‑value, long‑term federal construction contracts that will become available as the DoD’s CMMC rollout progresses.
