CMMC cybersecurity for Wichita aerospace manufacturers.
The Air Capital's supply chain runs on CUI — and most of the shops handling it can't afford a prime-priced compliance consultancy. We deliver the 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, an SSP and POA&M your C3PAO will accept, and the day-to-day operation behind them, at a price a Kansas job shop can run.

Why a Wichita Supplier Needs This Now
Dense aerospace base. The thinnest security coverage in the country. A hard 2028 deadline.
The three forces that make South-Central Kansas suppliers both exposed and underserved.
Wichita's aerospace supply chain runs on CUI
The Air Capital — anchored by Spirit AeroSystems, Textron Aviation, Bombardier Learjet, and McConnell AFB — sits atop hundreds of small machine shops, fabricators, and parts suppliers. Defense technical data and Controlled Unclassified Information flow down to each of them, and every shop carries its own CMMC and DFARS obligation.
Kansas is the single least-served security market in the US
The West North Central region — Kansas included — has the lowest density of managed-security professionals of any US region. Most Wichita suppliers are served by a generalist IT shop that can't tell NIST 800-171 from NIST 800-53, by an out-of-state firm, or by no one at all.
No certification, no purchase order
By 2028 every DoD contract handling FCI or CUI requires CMMC at the appropriate level, and the clause is already in new awards. Primes are dropping suppliers who can't show progress. False self-attestation carries real False Claims Act exposure — the annual affirmation is a legal attestation, not a checkbox.
How We Get You Certifiable
From a near-zero start to a clean C3PAO package
The same path we run for the full CMMC program — scoped to your shop.
Free CMMC-readiness check
We scope your CUI environment, classify your contracts, and score you against the 110 NIST 800-171 controls — then hand you a one-page roadmap with a realistic timeline and cost.
Foundation controls
MFA on every account, EDR on every endpoint, named accounts, encrypted backups, baseline configuration docs, and awareness training for every CUI-cleared user.
SSP & POA&M build-out
A documented System Security Plan across all 14 control families, a Plan of Action & Milestones for residual gaps, an incident response plan, and GCC High migration only if your CUI actually requires it.
C3PAO readiness & ongoing operation
A mock assessment against the C3PAO checklist, audit-ready evidence, and continuous operation through the 3-year recertification cycle. We're not a C3PAO — we get you certifiable and keep you there.
