Cybersecurity & Compliance Transformation We specialize in helping DoD suppliers and manufacturers achieve and maintain compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC.

Our focused approach leverages Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC) — a FedRAMP High-authorized environment — to simplify compliance and significantly reduce implementation costs and timelines.

GCC’s built-in controls for access management, encryption, auditing, data loss prevention (DLP), and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) protection can automate 50–70% of required technical implementations. This allows your team to focus on high-value activities such as policy development, secure migration, and continuous improvement rather than expensive custom development.

    AS9100 Certification Process

    1

    Step 1: Learn About AS9100: Understand the requirements of the AS9100 standard. This involves obtaining a copy of the AS9100 Standard and any supporting documents.

    2

    Step 2: Perform a Gap Analysis: Assess your current Quality Management System (QMS) to identify areas that need improvement to meet AS9100 requirements.

    3

    Step 3: Plan Your Implementation: Develop a detailed project plan for implementing AS9100. This includes defining the scope and timeline of the project.

    4

    Step 4: Train Your Organization: Educate all employees about AS9100 and their roles in the QMS. Training ensures everyone understands the new processes and procedures.

    5

    Step 5: Document Your QMS: Create and document your quality manual, procedures, and work instructions to align with AS9100 standards.

    6

    Step 6: Implement the QMS: Put the documented processes into practice. This step involves running the QMS for a period (usually around three months) to .collect records and ensure it is functioning correctly.

    7

    Step 7: Conduct Internal Audits: Regularly audit your QMS to identify any non-conformities and areas for improvement. This prepares you for the external audit.
