Defense & Aerospace
CMMC-aware managed services for defense suppliers, engineering firms, and aerospace manufacturers that must protect CUI without stalling contract delivery.
In short: Bitscaled delivers AI-native defense MSP architecture: CMMC readiness, CUI enclaves, NIST 800-171 control monitoring, and a contract-facing control plane so evidence stays current between assessments.
What defense operators need Bitscaled to own
These are the operational, security, and compliance pressures we design the stack around — before an accountable MSP and control plane are in place.
Operating pressures
- CMMC certification pressure. DFARS 252.204-7021 makes verified CMMC status a gate for maintaining DoD contract revenue.
- CUI handling complexity. Controlled Unclassified Information requires segmented environments — not shared drives on consumer SaaS.
- Supply chain attestation. Prime contractors demand evidence of NIST 800-171 controls across subcontractors.
Business outcomes
- Structured CMMC readiness. Gap assessments, SSP/SRM alignment, and mock audits that reduce surprise findings.
- Secure enclaves for CUI. Isolated workspaces, access logging, and encryption patterns sized for SMB defense firms.
- Ongoing control monitoring. Continuous validation that patching, MFA, and logging stay exam-ready between assessments.
Architectural playbook for defense operations
Program managers see POA&M status, MFA coverage, CUI access exceptions, and patch evidence in one governed workspace.
POA&M tracking
Control gaps stay owned, dated, and reviewable — not a spreadsheet that goes stale after the last mock audit.
CUI enclave access
Joiner-mover-leaver for engineers and subcontractors with logging sized for SMB defense firms.
Continuous control checks
MFA, patching, and logging validation between CMMC assessments so first-pass findings stay rare.
