inTech Consulting delivers specialized IT, cybersecurity, and compliance services to aerospace suppliers, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) providers, component manufacturers, and aerospace engineering firms across the Pacific Northwest. Deep expertise in CMMC 2.0, ITAR, DFARS, and NIST SP 800-171 — the frameworks your Boeing, Airbus, and defense customers require.
Or call (206) 397-8070
The Pacific Northwest is one of the largest aerospace clusters in the world — home to Boeing, its Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, defense aerospace manufacturers, and a robust MRO ecosystem. Every single one of these businesses faces IT and cybersecurity requirements that generic MSPs don't understand: ITAR-controlled technical data, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), prime contractor flow-down clauses, and FAA-mandated record retention.
inTech Consulting specializes in aerospace IT because we've done it. Our team understands how to architect networks that segregate ITAR data, how to build CMMC Level 2-ready environments without disrupting production, how to support ERPs and PLM systems aerospace uses, and how to pass the IT audits Boeing, Lockheed, and Raytheon require of their suppliers. When an aerospace customer calls their supplier asking about cybersecurity posture, we're the MSP that has the answer ready.
Who We Serve
Component manufacturers supplying Boeing, Airbus, Spirit AeroSystems, and defense primes. CMMC Level 2 preparation, CUI enclave design, and flow-down clause compliance.
Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul facilities for commercial and military aircraft. FAA record retention, ITAR-compliant technical data handling, and secure customer portals.
Engineering services, design firms, and consulting practices supporting aerospace OEMs. Secure CAD/PLM environments and protected intellectual property.
Advanced composites manufacturers, material suppliers, and specialty chemical producers. OT/IT segmentation for production and R&D data protection.
Industry-Specific Challenges
DoD aerospace contracts increasingly require CMMC Level 2. We guide you from initial gap assessment through C3PAO certification — typically 9–12 months for an 85-person aerospace supplier.
Architect networks that segregate ITAR-controlled technical data from general business systems. Access controls, encryption, and audit logging that satisfy ITAR requirements.
Prime contractors regularly audit supplier cybersecurity. We prepare your IT environment, documentation, and team for supplier audits — so you pass without disruption to production.
Teamcenter, Windchill, Enovia, CATIA, NX, SolidWorks — we secure the PLM and CAD systems aerospace businesses depend on, without slowing down engineering workflows.
Shop-floor CNC machines, test equipment, and production systems segmented from corporate IT — reducing attack surface and meeting CMMC network segmentation requirements.
MRO providers must retain maintenance records for years. We design backup, archiving, and retrieval systems that satisfy FAA Part 145 record retention requirements.

Learn more →Why inTech Consulting
We've worked with aerospace suppliers, MRO providers, and engineering firms across the Pacific Northwest. We speak your language — ITAR, CUI, flow-down clauses, prime contractor audits.
Track record of guiding aerospace suppliers from negative SPRS scores to CMMC Level 2 certification — protecting prime contract relationships.
Certified Minority & Women-Owned Business Enterprise and Public Works Small Business Enterprise — helping aerospace primes meet supplier diversity goals.
Zero-risk engagement. If we're not the right fit within 90 days, we refund 100% of your fees. No other PNW MSP serving aerospace offers this.
We come onsite to shop floors, engineering offices, and MRO hangars across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana — in person when the situation requires it.
We understand aerospace production schedules. Network changes, deployments, and migrations happen around your shifts — not during them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Boeing requires suppliers to comply with its internal BCAG security requirements, which flow through DFARS 252.204-7012. Airbus has similar supplier cybersecurity requirements. For defense aerospace work, both flow down CMMC 2.0 Level 2 requirements to their suppliers. Additionally, suppliers handling ITAR-controlled technical data must comply with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. inTech helps aerospace suppliers navigate all of these requirements simultaneously.
ITAR-controlled technical data requires specific protections: access limited to US persons, encryption at rest and in transit, detailed audit logging, and segregation from general business systems. inTech designs ITAR-compliant architectures using segregated network enclaves, strict access controls, and monitored data flows. We also help you document your ITAR compliance program and train staff on Technical Data Control requirements.
A typical 100-150 person Pacific Northwest aerospace supplier invests $35,000–$65,000 for a full CMMC Level 2 readiness program including gap assessment, CUI enclave design, SSP/POA&M documentation, technical control implementation, staff training, and assessment support. The C3PAO assessment itself is a separate $15,000–$40,000 cost paid to the assessor. See our CMMC Compliance page for full details.
Yes. Our team has experience supporting major PLM environments used in aerospace — Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault Enovia, and Autodesk Vault — along with CAD systems like CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, and Creo. We don't replace your PLM administrator, but we handle the underlying infrastructure, security, backup, and user access that keeps these systems running.
Yes. FAA Part 145 requires MRO providers to retain certain maintenance records for at least two years, with some records retained permanently. We design archiving, backup, and retrieval systems that satisfy these retention requirements while ensuring records are secured, searchable, and readily available for FAA audits. This includes both hard copy digitization workflows and native-digital record management.

Goal
Retain $8M Contract
A 120-person Pacific Northwest aerospace component manufacturer receives notice from their Tier 1 prime contractor: CMMC Level 2 certification will be required within 12 months or they'll lose their $8M annual contract. An initial SPRS self-assessment comes back at -45. Suppliers in this position often have ITAR-controlled technical data mixed with general business systems, no documented CUI handling procedures, and shop-floor CNC machines sitting on the same network as corporate email.
