Regulatory Compliance for Manufacturers

Small and mid-market aerospace and defense manufacturers have previously had few options to meet compliance requirements of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) short of managing their own on-premises infrastructure and ERP solutions. With ECI’s cloud platform designed to help manufacturers comply with the ITAR and CMMC, these manufacturers can now utilize this infrastructure so they can focus on manufacturing high-quality, precision parts and meeting their customers' on-time delivery requirements.

As ITAR-compliant and CMMC compliant-ready solutions, JobBOSS² and M1 are currently approved to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) today. Hosted in highly secure AWS GovCloud and Azure Government environments with FedRAMP High authorization, we ensure top-tier protection for sensitive data. Looking ahead, we are advancing towards FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency within JobBOSS² and M1, further strengthening our commitment to security and compliance.

By combining forces with the leading government cloud infrastructure providers and supporting that infrastructure with data custodians who are US Persons as defined in the ITAR, and with the JobBOSS² and M1 ERPs being designed for CMMC compliance, ECI extends to its customers all the benefits of deploying their ERP solution in the cloud (available anywhere, anytime, and on any device) with the required security protocols.

Government contractors and manufacturers can now securely manage and work with their technical and controlled but unclassified data (CUI) in the cloud and rest easy knowing that the solution is managed by individuals who are aware of the strictest standards put forth in the ITAR and CMMC requirements. CUI is the classification used to describe sensitive but unclassified information shared by the Department of Defense with contractors and subcontractors).

Drawings, process documentation, other technical data, and CUI data are safely stored and managed in accordance with the shared responsibility model put forth by the US State Department, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, and the Department of Defense.

"Before we moved to the ITAR Cloud solution, we had a need to put our information either behind a firewall or off of the cloud, and when we were able to move to the ITAR Cloud, that was a great relief to us. as we could now leave our data in the easy to use cloud solution, and be able to meet the needs of CMMC." - Joseph Roberts III, Special Projects Administrator, Miraco, Inc.

ECI can offer this ITAR and CMMC platform for any M1 and JobBOSS² US companies that are aerospace and defense manufacturers or contractors who are customers and want to stay on top of technology while moving to a secure, cloud environment.

We are utilizing Microsoft Azure Government and AWS GovCloud (US) to provide a secure platform with trusted names for the best protection. The infrastructure, process, and shared responsibility model have also received attestation by a well-known auditor and third-party compliance consultancy firm.

Having the ability to securely access your manufacturing business data from anywhere is imperative to being on top of daily operations to make quick yet informed decisions.

Because every ERP system is different and tailored for your company, costs will vary depending on users and what kind of integration is needed. Reach out to us if you are interested in learning more, or contact your account representative to inquire about pricing.

ECI does not have any visibility into a customer's network infrastructure, so ultimately, you, as the manufacturer, are responsible for ensuring compliance with the ITAR and other applicable laws and regulations. This includes data that is subject to ITAR and CMMC regulations. We are responsible for keeping your data and assets secure in the platform we provide to support your regulatory compliance efforts. This guide is not intended nor should be construed to provide legal advice. You and your company should consult your legal counsel and compliance advisors for any questions regarding regulatory compliance for your organization
