Electronics Manufacturers:
Your PCB Designs Are Unprotected CUI.
You design the circuit boards that go inside defense systems.
Your firmware powers mission-critical hardware.
Your schematics, your BOMs, your test data. All of it is Controlled Unclassified Information.
And right now, most of it is sitting on unencrypted drives and open email threads.
The Threat Electronics Manufacturers
Aren't Taking Seriously
Electronics manufacturing is one of the fastest-growing segments of the defense supply chain.
Billions of dollars in DoD procurement flow through companies that design and build circuit boards, embedded controllers, power supplies, RF modules, and sensor arrays every year.
Every one of those companies handles CUI. And CMMC Level 2 demands full protection of all 110 NIST 800-171 controls.
Not a partial plan. Not a spreadsheet of intentions. Verified implementation.
Right now, engineering workstations across the industry store unencrypted PCB design files and firmware source code. Schematics get emailed in plain text. Component specifications live on shared drives with no access controls.
When CMMC enforcement ramps up, manufacturers who haven't locked down their CUI will be cut out of the defense supply chain entirely.
12-18 Months
Typical timeline to achieve CMMC Level 2 for electronics manufacturers with complex design environments.
Firmware at Risk
Source code repos, test scripts, and debug logs often lack access controls. Every file is potential CUI exposure.
Design File Sprawl
PCB layouts in Altium, OrCAD, and KiCad scattered across workstations, NAS drives, and cloud sync folders without encryption.
We Get Electronics Manufacturers CMMC-Ready.
From the Bench to the Board Room.
CMMC Ready Now, powered by Capital Cyber, is the compliance partner built for electronics manufacturers who need to protect schematics, firmware, and test data without slowing down production.
CMMC Gap Assessment
We audit your engineering workstations, design file storage, firmware repositories, and network architecture against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. You get a clear, prioritized roadmap.
Remediation & Implementation
From encrypting PCB design libraries to locking down firmware build servers, we do the hands-on engineering work. Not slide decks. Real technical fixes.
System Security Plan (SSP)
Full SSP development covering your EDA tools, test equipment networks, and production systems. Custom documentation that C3PAO assessors actually accept.
Plan of Action & Milestones
Strategic POA&M that addresses the unique gaps in electronics manufacturing environments, from lab networks to component databases.
Continuous Monitoring
Around-the-clock monitoring across engineering, production, and administrative networks. Compliance is not a one-time event. We keep you certified.
Assessment Prep & Mock Audits
Full dress rehearsal before your C3PAO assessment. We simulate the real audit so your engineering and IT teams know exactly what to expect on game day.
Built for Every Corner of Electronics Manufacturing
Whether you are designing multi-layer PCBs or building electronic warfare assemblies, your CUI requires the same level of protection. We understand the tools, the workflows, and the data that define your sector.

Real results from real electronics manufacturers. Here is what our clients say.
“We had Altium design files on shared drives with zero access controls. Capital Cyber identified every gap in our environment and helped us implement encryption, segmentation, and proper access management across all our engineering systems. We passed our C3PAO assessment on the first attempt.”
VP of Engineering
PCB Manufacturer, Virginia
“Our embedded firmware repo was wide open. Test data from qualification runs was stored on a production server anyone could access. The CMMC Ready Now team understood our workflow and built a compliance plan that did not slow down our development cycle. That was critical for us.”
Production Manager
Embedded Systems Company, Maryland
“Rick and his team actually understand RF and microwave electronics manufacturing. They did not hand us a generic checklist. They came in, saw how our engineers work with ITAR-controlled designs, and built a security architecture that fits our reality. Best investment we have made.”

Comprehensive Gap Assessment
Our team performs a full analysis of your engineering workstations, design file storage, firmware build environments, test networks, and administrative systems against all 110 NIST 800-171 controls.
Remediation & Implementation
We work alongside your engineering and IT teams to close every gap. Encrypted design libraries, access-controlled repos, segmented lab networks, hardened endpoints, and complete documentation.
Assessment Prep & Certification
Mock audits, SSP review, evidence collection across your entire electronics operation. When you walk into your C3PAO assessment, you are ready.
Let me be direct with you.
Your company designs and builds the electronics that go inside weapons systems, avionics, satellites, and ground vehicles.
Those PCB schematics are not just intellectual property. They are classified as Controlled Unclassified Information by the Department of Defense.
Your firmware source code. Your bill of materials. Your test procedures. Your ITAR-controlled component specifications.
All of it is CUI. And CMMC does not care that you have been building for the DoD for 20 years.
It cares whether your engineering data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Whether your firmware repos have role-based access controls. Whether your test data lives on segmented, monitored networks.
Not next quarter. Not next year. Right now.
The electronics manufacturers who move first will lock in assessor slots.
They will win the next round of contracts.
They will be the ones still in the supply chain when the dust settles.
Will your company be one of them?
