Philadelphia Manufacturers:
NIST 800-171 Compliance Starts Here.
You're part of the defense supply chain.
Your components end up in systems that protect American lives.
The DoD requires every company in that chain to protect Controlled Unclassified Information.
NIST 800-171 is how you prove you can.
Philadelphia Manufacturing
Runs on Defense Contracts
The Greater Philadelphia region is one of the oldest and most productive manufacturing corridors in the United States.
From the Navy Yard to the industrial zones along I-95, over 4,500 manufacturing firms operate in the Philadelphia metro area. Many feed directly into the defense supply chain.
The Philadelphia Defense Industrial Base includes companies producing everything from ship components for the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to electronics, chemicals, and precision machined parts for DoD prime contractors.
Every one of these companies handling CUI must comply with NIST 800-171.
NIST Special Publication 800-171 contains 110 security requirements across 14 control families. It covers everything from access control and audit logging to incident response and physical protection.
If your prime contractor asks for your NIST 800-171 score and you don't have one, you're already behind. If the DoD audits your compliance and finds gaps, you face false claims liability and contract termination.
14 Control Families
NIST 800-171 spans access control, awareness training, audit, configuration, identification, incident response, and more.
False Claims Risk
Misrepresenting your NIST 800-171 compliance in SPRS submissions can trigger Department of Justice action.
4,500+ Manufacturers

Trusted by Manufacturers Across Pennsylvania
From the Navy Yard to the Lehigh Valley, manufacturers trust us to get compliance right.
“Our prime contractor gave us 90 days to demonstrate NIST 800-171 compliance or lose our subcontract. Capital Cyber got us to a defensible SPRS score in 60 days. They saved our largest contract.”
Plant Manager
Precision Parts Manufacturer, South Philly
“We had a self assessed SPRS score of 87. Capital Cyber showed us our real score was negative 12. They helped us understand the actual requirements and build a legitimate compliance program.”
Quality Director
Electronics Manufacturer, Bucks County PA
“The team understood our shop floor challenges. They knew we couldn't just shut down production to install security controls. They worked around our schedule and got it done without a single hour of downtime.”

Philadelphia built American manufacturing.
Your factories have been running for generations.
You've survived recessions, offshoring, and global competition.
You're still here because you deliver quality. On time. Every time.
But the DoD is adding a new requirement to that list: cybersecurity.
NIST 800-171 compliance isn't optional for companies in the defense supply chain. It's the baseline.
And soon, CMMC certification will make it enforceable.
The manufacturers who invest in compliance now will be the ones primes trust with new work.
The ones who wait will watch contracts go to competitors who took action.
Your shop has survived everything. Don't let a compliance gap be the thing that stops you.
