Frontier Technologies, Inc. Achieves CMMC Level II Certification, Strengthening Cybersecurity Posture and Advancing Mission Readiness for Federal and Defense Customers

Published

on

By

WILMINGTON, Del., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Frontier Technologies, Inc. (FTI), a woman-owned, minority-owned small business and leading provider of advanced technology, cybersecurity, and mission support solutions for the federal government, today announced it has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level II certification. This significant milestone reinforces FTI’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), meeting the stringent cybersecurity requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), and delivering secure, resilient solutions that support mission success.

CMMC certification strengthens our ability to deliver secure solutions for those who protect our nation.

CMMC is the Department of Defense’s framework for strengthening the cybersecurity posture of companies within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Level II certification validates that Frontier Technologies has fully implemented and maintains the 110 security practices outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-171 framework—controls designed to protect sensitive defense information against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Certification at this level is assessed by an accredited C3PAO (Third-Party Assessment Organization) and is a critical requirement for organizations supporting DoD contracts that involve the handling of CUI.

“Achieving CMMC Level II certification is a significant milestone for Frontier Technologies and a testament to the extraordinary effort and dedication of our entire team. Cybersecurity is not merely a compliance obligation—it is the foundation of the trust our government and defense partners place in us every day. As a woman-owned, minority-owned small business serving the federal government, we are proud to demonstrate that organizations of any size can meet the highest standards of cybersecurity excellence. This certification positions us to continue delivering secure, resilient solutions that support the missions of those who protect our nation. We look forward to building on this achievement as we pursue even higher standards of performance.”

— Reshma Moorthy, CEO & President, Frontier Technologies, Inc.

The certification process required a rigorous third-party assessment of all facets of FTI’s information security program, including access controls, incident response, risk management, configuration management, and system and communications protection. Frontier Technologies worked closely with its internal security team, external auditors, and industry advisors to ensure full compliance with all 110 required practices, underscoring the company’s continued investment in protecting sensitive government information and maintaining operational excellence across its defense and federal programs.

With CMMC Level II certification now in hand, Frontier Technologies is well-positioned to compete for and support an expanded portfolio of DoD contracts and federal programs requiring demonstrated cybersecurity maturity. The company views this certification not only as a strategic differentiator within the Defense Industrial Base but also as a reaffirmation of its core commitment to the safety, integrity, and resilience of every mission it supports.

Frontier Technologies provides innovative technology solutions and services across cybersecurity, IT modernization, engineering, cloud, and mission support, helping government agencies solve complex operational challenges while maintaining the highest standards of security and performance.

About Frontier Technologies, Inc.

Frontier Technologies, Inc. is a woman- and minority-owned small business and a trusted provider of technology and mission support services to federal government and defense customers.

DispatchTrack Continues AI Portfolio Expansion with Industry-First Driver AI for Automated Driver Voice Briefings

Published

By

Combines location intelligence with customer and dispatcher context to ensure seamless delivery experiences; 5,721 hours of voice briefings already played by delivery drivers

CAMPBELL, Calif., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DispatchTrack today announced the launch of Driver AI, the industry’s first in-the-cab voice briefing system for delivery drivers. Driver AI enhances the capabilities of DispatchTrack’s existing driver mobile app by automatically generating a short briefing before each stop on the driver’s route, all read out via voice note. It represents just the latest expansion of DispatchTrack’s portfolio of AI-powered technologies aimed at leveraging AI across delivery management to make logistics operations more efficient.

“Driver AI is more than just a voice briefing for the driver: it’s a technological building block that will help us create a world where faster, better, and more predictable deliveries are the standard.”

More than 48% of eligible DispatchTrack customers have at least one driver actively utilizing Driver AI, with more than 5,721 hours’ worth of AI-generated messages listened to by drivers in just the last 30 days.

Preventable exceptions arise when the driver lacks critical information. They drive around an apartment complex looking for the service elevator or they frantically call the customer for a gate code—even if the customer has already provided that information. The result is slowdowns that annoy the customer and cost team time.

Driver AI solves this problem with no extra interventions from the dispatcher. Parking availability, building/site access codes, notes or instructions from the customer, and other key delivery context is all slotted seamlessly into the driver’s existing workflow.

This has a huge operational impact:

Drivers are always aware of last minute changes before they reach the siteCustomers notes and instructions don’t fall through the cracksDeliveries get completed quickly and efficiently with minimal time on siteDelivery and service teams are more productive across the board

In addition to gathering and synthesizing publicly available information about the delivery location (likelihood of parking availability, detached house or apartment, etc.), it also collects context from the most recent conversations between the business and the customer—including conversations via DT Agent, DispatchTrack’s AI system for customer engagement.

“DispatchTrack’s north star is making every aspect of the delivery process more efficient—which means injecting AI into elements of the last mile workflow that other technology providers haven’t necessarily considered.” said DispatchTrack cofounder Shailu Satish. “Driver AI is more than just a voice briefing for the driver: it’s a technological building block that will help us create a world where faster, better, and more predictable deliveries are the standard.”

Driver AI is broadly available now to DispatchTrack customers. To request a demo or learn more, visit https://www.dispatchtrack.com/book-a-demo/

About DispatchTrack:

DispatchTrack is the global leader in delivery management software, helping top brands around the globe power successful deliveries 1 million times a day. Since 2010, DispatchTrack’s scalable, AI-powered SaaS platform has revolutionized delivery experiences by making them more connected, intuitive, and intelligent.

SchoolStatus Named Attendance Solution of the Year in 2026 EdTech Breakthrough Awards

Published

By

This recognition reflects three years of measurable progress on chronic absenteeism and the launch of first-of-its-kind predictive attendance analytics for K-12 districts

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SchoolStatus, the leading provider of K-12 attendance and family engagement solutions, has been named the Attendance Solution of the Year in the Family Engagement Category at this year’s EdTech Breakthrough Awards.

The recognition comes at a pivotal moment. Nationally, chronic absenteeism remains 50% above pre-pandemic levels, with the average rate holding at roughly 23% across 39 states in the 2024-25 school year. The districts working with SchoolStatus have bucked the trend, with gains across every grade level for the third consecutive year. A study of 146 districts serving over a million students shows that chronic absenteeism dropped from 22.44% to 18.98% over three years for districts using SchoolStatus Attend. That’s over 27,000 fewer chronically absent students.

“SchoolStatus is built on the belief that when families receive information that is personal, relevant, and timely, they become the most powerful partners in a child’s education. That belief drives everything we build,” said Dr. Kara Stern, Director of Education at SchoolStatus.

Acting Before Absences Compound

Research shows that a key component of preventing absenteeism is reaching out early in the year, before habits are entrenched and academic progress has stalled. SchoolStatus Early Warning Insights identifies students at risk of chronic absenteeism by day 60 of school. In 2025-26, over 200,000 students were flagged early enough for districts to act in the first semester rather than react in the second. Built on more than 20 years of attendance data from tens of millions of student records, this capability stands out in a market where traditional attendance interventions wait until students have already crossed the chronic threshold.

With centralized, integrated student data, SchoolStatus enables districts to send personalized outreach to the families whose children need support, whether for attendance or academics. Early identification combined with targeted family engagement is the core of the SchoolStatus approach.

Honoring Continual Innovation

SchoolStatus continues to innovate to meet the evolving needs of districts and families. This ongoing innovation is central to both the company’s values and the ethos of the EdTech Breakthrough Awards.

The EdTech Breakthrough Awards honor excellence and innovation across educational technology categories including student engagement, school administration, adaptive learning, STEM education, and more. This year’s program attracted thousands of international nominations.

SchoolStatus is honored by this recognition and remains committed to connecting educators and families around the topics that drive student outcomes. Learn more at schoolstatus.com.
