Cuick Trac Enclave Powers Beryllium InfoSec to CMMC Level 2 Certification
DALLAS, May 14, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beryllium InfoSec, Inc., a cybersecurity and compliance firm serving the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), has officially achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 using its flagship solution, Cuick Trac, a FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent, fully managed enclave-as-a-service. This milestone demonstrates that Beryllium's internal information system, powered by Cuick Trac, meets the Department of Defense's rigorous standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The certification was granted following a formal third-party assessment. A Certified Environment, Not Just a Product CMMC Level 2 certifies an organization's information system, not a standalone tool or platform. Cuick Trac provides the secure foundation, architecture, and documentation necessary for assessment readiness. It is the complete integration of people, process, and technology that achieves certification. By undergoing its own full CMMC Level 2 assessment, Beryllium validated that Cuick Trac can serve as the cornerstone of a certifiable environment. In addition to supporting CMMC certification, Cuick Trac has achieved FedRAMP Ready status, a designation reviewed and approved by the FedRAMP Program Management Office. This distinction reflects the platform's maturity and readiness for organizations requiring cloud solutions that meet federal security standards. Why This Matters to Contractors Contractors handling or pursuing CUI-related contracts must prove they meet CMMC Level 2 standards. Cuick Trac helps them do so faster and with less complexity by providing a managed, assessment-ready platform. Organizations using Cuick Trac inherit key elements of a certified environment, reducing the burden of configuring and maintaining multiple disjointed tools. Both FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency and CMMC Level 2 readiness are embedded into the Cuick Trac experience.

That is the kind of environment you want protecting your CUI."— Jeff Baldwin, Chief Information Security Officer "This is what it means to lead by example. To go above and beyond the mission. To make 'CMMC-ready' more than a slogan."— George Perezdiaz, Director of Compliance Advisory "Our mission at Beryllium is to empower the companies that help keep us safe. One of the main ways we do this is by simplifying cybersecurity and compliance for hundreds of federal contractors with our Cuick Trac Managed Enclave.

Donatos Pizza expands presence in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston
US-based pizza restaurant chain Donatos Pizza has signed three new franchise groups as part of its plans to expand presence in Texas. The company's commitment to the Lone Star State is reinforced with the latest agreements, which include two in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area and one in Houston. The agreements brings the total number of Donatos Pizza franchise groups in Texas to nine. As part of its long-term growth strategy in Texas, Donatos aims to open more than 100 locations across key Texas markets, including DFW, Houston, Waco, Austin, and East Texas. Donatos Pizza development and franchising VP Jeff Baldwin said: "With every new agreement, we're strengthening our footprint on these communities throughout Texas while showcasing our commitment to delivering more of what our guests love: more toppings, more flavour, and more deliciousness. DFW and Houston are powerhouse markets, and we're excited to welcome motivated franchise partners who are ready to grow with us." Currently, Donatos Pizza operates two locations in Flower Mound and Frisco in Texas. Donatos Pizza CEO and president Kevin King added: "Texas is a huge priority for us. We are attracting very capable partners who are ready to build something meaningful with us in the Lone Star State." Donatos Pizza has also introduced a new tagline, "Gotta love more," which underscores the brand's dedication to delivering more value, innovation, and community connection. This commitment is evident in both the brand's menu offerings, such as the $5 Pizza Pals Menu, and its efforts to expand its presence through franchise partners. In April 2025, Donatos Pizza selected Revmo AI as its partner to implement a new voice ordering system. This system will automate phone orders across the brand's entire network, enhancing efficiency and customer service.

US-based pizza franchise Donatos Pizza has revealed an expansion in the Texas market with a new franchise agreement for three outlets in Houston.

"With decades of experience and valuable insights, we offer exceptional support to our franchise partners, providing a scaleable and profitable opportunity for those seeking to join the brand." Donatos' commitment to Texas is underscored by the development of multiple new stores within the DFW area. It aims to capture a significant share of the Texan market, where several franchises are vying for dominance. Donatos Pizza CEO and president Kevin King stated: "With strong brand recognition and proven success across the nation, we know our business model is the right fit for franchise groups looking to develop in Texas. "This year, we are looking to add 3 to 5 new locations across DFW and Houston. We look forward to welcoming aspiring Texas entrepreneurs to explore our franchise opportunity and for customers to experience the difference of our high-quality pizza."
