Aerospace Cybersecurity Challenges

The aerospace industry faces unique security challenges driven by complex supply chains, strict regulatory requirements, and high-value intellectual property.

Complex Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

Multi-tier supplier networks create extensive attack surfaces with varying security maturity levels across partners.

63% of aerospace breaches originate from supply chain partners

ITAR & Export Control Compliance

Protecting controlled technical data while maintaining operational efficiency requires rigorous access controls and monitoring.

Violations carry criminal penalties and export privileges loss

CMMC Requirements for Defense Contractors

DoD contracts now require CMMC certification, demanding comprehensive security controls and continuous compliance evidence.

Non-compliance = contract loss and competitive disadvantage

Intellectual Property Protection

Proprietary designs, engineering data, and manufacturing processes are high-value targets for nation-state actors.

$300B+ annual losses to IP theft in aerospace sector

Legacy Systems & Operational Technology

Critical manufacturing and testing systems often run on older platforms with limited patching options and security controls.

Extended exposure windows for known vulnerabilities

Regulatory Audit Complexity

Multiple overlapping frameworks (FAA, NIST, CMMC, AS9100) create audit burden and compliance tracking challenges.

Failed audits delay deliveries and damage reputation

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Scan Ninja help with CMMC compliance?

Scan Ninja provides automated evidence collection, continuous compliance monitoring, and control mapping specifically aligned to CMMC requirements. Our platform helps you prepare for CMMC assessments by organizing security controls, tracking remediation progress, and generating audit-ready documentation. We support CMMC Level 1 through Level 3 requirements.

Can Scan Ninja be deployed in ITAR-compliant environments?

Yes. Scan Ninja supports on-premises deployment, air-gapped environments, and ITAR-compliant hosting options. We can deploy within your controlled environments to ensure that Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and ITAR-controlled technical data remain protected according to export control requirements.

How does Scan Ninja address aerospace supply chain security?

Our platform provides vendor risk assessment capabilities, third-party security scoring, and continuous monitoring of supplier security posture. You can track which suppliers meet your security requirements, identify supply chain vulnerabilities, and ensure partners maintain compliance with your security standards throughout the contract lifecycle.

What about legacy systems and OT environments in manufacturing?

Scan Ninja understands that aerospace manufacturing includes legacy systems and operational technology that can't be patched on typical schedules. Our platform helps you prioritize risks in these environments and provides compensating control recommendations when immediate patching isn't possible. We work within your maintenance windows and operational constraints.

How quickly can aerospace companies get started?

Initial deployment typically completes within hours to days, depending on environment complexity and security requirements. Cloud deployments are fastest, while air-gapped or on-premises installations require coordination but are designed for rapid setup. Most aerospace customers begin receiving prioritized risk intelligence and remediation guidance within the first week.
