Aerospace & Space

    Protect the IP. Pass the Audit.

    Aerospace manufacturers live at the intersection of AS9100, CMMC, ITAR, and customer-specific baselines. We build one IT and security program that satisfies all of them, and stops the IP theft your competitors don't even know about.

    Where Aerospace IT Quietly Breaks

    AS9100 quality records and CUI live on the same network with no separation
    ITAR/EAR-controlled drawings sit in unencrypted shares and engineer inboxes
    Primes are flowing down CMMC L2, and you don't have a real SSP
    NASA, DoD, and commercial-space contracts each impose different baselines
    Foreign-person access is happening, but not actually controlled
    Cyber insurance is conditioning renewal on MFA, EDR, and IR plans you don't have

    What We Deliver

    IT & Security for Aerospace & Space

    AS9100 + CMMC + ITAR Program

    Aligned controls and evidence so one program satisfies quality, defense, and export-control auditors.

    ITAR / EAR Enclaves

    Segmented enclaves with US-person access controls, GCC High or GovCloud, and end-to-end encryption.

    Engineering-Aware Managed IT

    CAD, PLM, ERP, and MES infrastructure managed with uptime and IP protection in mind.

    EDR + SOC for IP Theft

    24/7 monitoring tuned for nation-state and IP-theft TTPs, not just commodity ransomware.

    Audit Evidence Library

    AS9100, DCMA, NASA, and prime audits: always-on evidence, not a fire drill.

    Fractional CISO for Aerospace

    Strategic security leadership for primes, subs, and commercial-space suppliers.

    Aerospace & Space IT FAQs

    AS9100 covers quality management, CMMC/NIST 800-171 covers CUI handling for DoD work, and ITAR/EAR govern export-controlled technical data. They're separate frameworks with separate auditors, but many controls (access management, encryption, logging) satisfy more than one at once. We build a single program mapped to all three rather than three disconnected efforts.

    At minimum, controlled access limited to verified US persons, encryption for data at rest and in transit, and documented control over who can view or export technical drawings and CAD files. Foreign national access needs a specific, documented review process.

    It depends heavily on how much CUI/ITAR-controlled data you handle and how much of your infrastructure needs to move into a segmented enclave; small suppliers commonly see costs from the tens of thousands into six figures depending on remediation scope.

    Yes, NASA and commercial-space customers sometimes specify their own baselines (e.g., NIST 800-53-derived controls) distinct from DoD's CMMC/NIST 800-171 requirements. We map whichever baselines your specific contracts require.

    Basic identity and access controls can often be implemented in a few weeks; broader gaps like unencrypted file shares or unreviewed foreign-national access typically take longer depending on how much data needs to be migrated and re-permissioned.

    Yes, we maintain an always-on evidence library covering access logs, backup records, and change management so IT-related AS9100 evidence doesn't need to be assembled from scratch before each audit.
