Protect the designs that fly

Aerospace runs on data adversaries want — designs, processes, and supply chains under ITAR, CMMC, and DFARS scrutiny. We build environments that protect all of it, with the documentation to prove it.

Why it matters

Aerospace companies face a demanding mix: sensitive design data worth stealing, export-controlled technical data under ITAR, CMMC and NIST 800-171 obligations for defense work, and supply chains where one weak link puts the whole program at risk. The technology has to protect all of it — without slowing engineering down.

Services for aerospace companies

Our approach

  1. 01

    Discovery & Gap Assessment

    Where design data and export-controlled technical data live, who can touch them, and how the environment measures against NIST 800-171.

  2. 02

    Roadmap Development

    Do Now / Do Next / Do Later, tailored to aerospace realities — MFA and access control first, segmentation and structural work sequenced around programs.

  3. 03

    Remediation & Implementation

    ITAR-grade isolation, US-person access controls, encryption, and monitoring — implemented without disrupting engineering or production.

  4. 04

    Ongoing Management

    Continuous monitoring, compliance reviews, supply-chain assessment, and evidence maintained so SSPs and POA&Ms stay current.

Frequently asked questions

What CMMC level does an aerospace company need?

It depends on what you handle. Most aerospace suppliers working with CUI need Level 2; programs involving the most sensitive data may require Level 3. We help you confirm the level your contracts actually demand before you spend toward the wrong target.

How do you handle ITAR requirements?

Export-controlled technical data gets isolated systems, access restricted to US persons, encryption, and the audit documentation to prove all of it. Every person who touches your environment is US-based.

Does your delivery model affect our supply-chain risk?

Yes, in your favor. All consulting, monitoring, and support are performed domestically — no offshore handoffs — which reduces supply-chain risk and simplifies ITAR and DFARS conversations with primes and assessors.

What documentation do we get?

Policies, procedures, and technical evidence are delivered with each engagement — supporting System Security Plans (SSPs) and POA&Ms for CMMC and DFARS, in the form assessors expect.

Can you guarantee we'll pass a CMMC assessment?

No provider can guarantee certification, and you should be wary of any that promise it. What we deliver is the preparation that makes passing the expected outcome: real controls, real evidence, and mock audits before the real one.

Ready to protect your programs?

Start with a gap assessment — know where your design data and export-controlled systems stand against CMMC and ITAR before a prime or an assessor asks.
