Renowned for reliability and precision, Aviatrix provides a comprehensive inventory of high-quality parts, including avionics, hydraulic components, and hard-to-find or obsolete items critical for military aircraft operations. As an ISO 9001 and AS 9120B registered company, Aviatrix ensures the highest standards of quality and compliance, offering rapid same-day shipping and exceptional customer support.

One of the primary hurdles in achieving CMMC compliance was understanding the complex framework of requirements, which encompasses multiple levels of maturity and stringent controls based on the organization’s role in handling CUI. Like many other small and medium-sized businesses, Aviatrix also faced increased financial and operational costs to implement the mandated security measures. The firm needed to implement advanced cybersecurity measures such as encryption, continuous monitoring, and recurring assessments, all while balancing the operational costs associated with compliance.

For Aviatrix, achieving and maintaining CMMC compliance was a critical priority given the company’s role in serving the military aviation sector. Ultimately, the leadership team recognized the need to partner with a firm that would provide the process, technical and oversight expertise necessary to achieve compliance.

The offering simplified the journey to achieving and maintaining NIST 800-171 compliance, empowering the firm to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and meet federal contracting requirements.

This comprehensive solution delivered expert guidance, tools, and continuous support to navigate the complex requirements of NIST 800-171. From conducting the initial gap assessment and delivering a System Security Plan (SSPs) to providing guidance on implementing required controls, CaaS guided Aviatrix toward its goal of being audit-ready and secure. With Compliance as a Service, Aviatrix dramatically reduced the burden of compliance, effectively managed operational costs, and confidently met the cybersecurity standards, all while focusing on expanding its core business.

Since 2017, Aviatrix has been relying on the CaaS program from Security Vitals to help the organization meet the stringent compliance requirements. By meeting these challenges head-on, Aviatrix reinforces its commitment to safeguarding sensitive data, supporting national defense, and maintaining its position as a reliable partner in the aerospace supply chain.

Falina Benett-Moore, IT Manager at Aviatrix explained, “we really needed a partner that would provide the resources and expertise necessary to help address our compliance [CMMC] requirements.”  She continued, “It’s been a great relationship because I know that if a question or issue comes up, Security Vitals has us covered.”
