Aerospace & Defense - Certivo

Aerospace & Defense

One Missing Certificate Grounds a $50M Program. You Have 15,000 Supplier Documents to Track.

Aerospace & defense supply chains span 30-year program lifecycles but face 2-year certificate expirations. CMMC requires verified cybersecurity compliance from every supplier. ITAR demands export control documentation for every component. MITRE TARA risk assessments are required for DoD cybersecurity risk management. Your compliance team is buried in spreadsheets while prime contractors demand audit evidence you can’t produce. Manual compliance processes can’t scale with multi-tier supply chain complexity.

Sound Familiar? You Need to Act Now.

CMMC Certification Deadline Approaching

Prime contractors are demanding CMMC Level 2 compliance evidence from their entire supply chain. Third-party assessments become mandatory November 2026. You have hundreds of suppliers and no systematic way to verify their cybersecurity certifications. Regulatory horizon scanning intelligence is critical now.

Your Compliance Manager Just Left

The one person who tracked ITAR licenses, AS9100 certificates, and customer flowdown requirements just resigned. Institutional knowledge is walking out the door. You need a system of record, not a single person managing BOM-level compliance intelligence.

Contract Bid Rejected

A DoD prime contractor rejected your proposal because you couldn’t prove supplier certification status within 48 hours. The program required verified AS9100 compliance and MITRE TARA cybersecurity risk evidence across your supply base. You lost a $25M contract opportunity. Multi-tier supply chain transparency would have prevented this.

Board Asking Questions

Executive team wants to know your compliance exposure. "How many suppliers have expiring certifications? What’s our CMMC readiness? Do we have current MITRE TARA threat assessments? Can we prove counterfeit parts prevention?" Without continuous audit-ready documentation, you don’t have answers.

Pain Points

Aerospace & Defense Compliance Is Broken

Certificate Chaos

Before

Certificates in email attachments, SharePoint folders, and filing cabinets. Nobody knows what’s current. AS9100 certs are with quality, ITAR agreements are with legal, CMMC attestations are... somewhere. No centralized system of record.

V/S

After

Every certificate in one place with continuous audit-ready documentation. Expiry dates tracked automatically. 90-day alerts before anything lapses. Search by supplier, program, regulation, or date. Complete multi-tier supply chain transparency.

Key Regulations for Aerospace & Defense

Why Now - Deadlines

November 2026
CMMC Level 2 Third-Party Assessments

Third-party CMMC certification becomes mandatory for contracts involving CUI. Prime contractors already demanding supplier compliance evidence and MITRE TARA threat assessments. Assessment slots filling rapidly.

Late 2026
IA9100 Transition Begins

AS9100 evolves to IA9100 with enhanced cybersecurity and supplier oversight requirements. Organizations will have 2-3 years to complete migration to maintain certification.
