Marietta, Georgia
Managed IT Services, CMMC 2.0 & Cybersecurity for Marietta’s Aerospace & Defense Industrial Base
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has operated its Marietta manufacturing facility for 75 continuous years, marked by Governor Brian Kemp in June 2026 alongside company officials at the Cobb County site. The 8-million-square-foot facility supports more than 5,600 Georgia jobs directly, and the company has increased its Georgia workforce by more than 25% since 2019 — adding over 1,200 jobs at Marietta alone in the most recent expansion, part of a statewide Georgia workforce exceeding 6,300 employees that contributed $4.5 billion to the state’s economy in 2025. The Marietta facility produces the C-130J Super Hercules and F-35 Lightning II, alongside a legacy of F-22 and C-5M production, operating adjacent to Dobbins Air Reserve Base.
Lockheed Martin’s Marietta presence anchors a defense industrial base supplier ecosystem numbering in the thousands — and that ecosystem faces a specific, urgent compliance reality: nearly all of these suppliers received CMMC flow-down letters in 2025, requiring Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification compliance as a condition of continued defense contracting.
Lionhive provides Managed IT Services, CMMC 2.0 Compliance, and Cybersecurity & Compliance to the defense industrial base suppliers, aerospace manufacturers, and professional services organizations operating across Marietta and Cobb County.
Almost every defense industrial base supplier in the Marietta corridor received a CMMC flow-down letter in 2025. That letter isn’t a suggestion — it’s a contractual requirement that determines whether a supplier keeps its Lockheed Martin relationship. Suppliers who treat CMMC as a distant deadline rather than an active compliance program are the ones who lose contracts when their prime’s C3PAO assessment window arrives.
CMMC 2.0 Compliance for the Defense Supply Chain
Marietta’s defense industrial base suppliers face CMMC 2.0 Level 2 compliance requirements built around NIST SP 800-171’s 110 security controls, driven by flow-down requirements from Lockheed Martin and other prime contractors. Lionhive builds single-stack Microsoft 365 GCC High deployments, writes System Security Plan documentation that C3PAO assessors read directly, and prepares the evidence packages that Defense Industrial Base contractors need to survive assessment — CMMC compliance built by practitioners who understand what a C3PAO walkthrough actually requires.
