Fort Worth defense contractors build and support some of the most important aircraft programs in the country. ITServices.Tech supports Fort Worth defense contractors with managed IT that covers the help desk, cybersecurity, CMMC preparation and technology planning together.
Fort Worth and military aviation
The F-35 is assembled at Lockheed Martin in west Fort Worth, Bell is building the Army’s next long-range assault aircraft in the region, and Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth sits alongside the Lockheed plant. A deep supplier base of machine shops, electronics firms, engineering services and software companies supports those programs.
CMMC preparation for suppliers
Primes now ask suppliers about CMMC readiness before awarding work. DFARS clauses already require NIST SP 800-171 controls and an SPRS score for contractors that handle CUI. CMMC clauses have been appearing in contracts since November 10, 2025, and phase 2 begins on November 10, 2026, allowing Level 2 certification assessments by a C3PAO to be required. We handle the preparation, including scoping, gap analysis, remediation, policies and evidence. The assessment itself is performed by the C3PAO.
Engineering data and export controls
Aircraft drawings and technical data can be both CUI and subject to export controls. Keeping that data in a controlled environment, limiting access to authorized people and logging who opened what helps you meet customer requirements. Export classification decisions remain with your compliance team.
GCC High and secure enclaves
Many suppliers protect CUI in Microsoft 365 GCC High or a dedicated enclave so the rest of the business can keep using commercial tools. We help you decide which approach fits, plan the migration and support the environment afterward.
Evidence that stays current
Passing an assessment depends on showing controls work, not just describing them. We keep logs, access reviews, patch records, training records and backup tests up to date so evidence is ready whenever a prime or assessor asks.
