Data Security for the Aerospace Industry
The Growing Challenge of Cloud Risks in the Aerospace Industry
Cloud platforms used for PLM, MES, ERP, and collaboration are often not built for ITAR, CMMC or EAR compliance. Allowing a cloud provider to access plaintext technical data can constitute an unauthorized export under 22 CFR Parts 120-130. Defense contractors must also meet NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012. Often native SaaS encryption does not satisfy these obligations.
Unauthorized Access to Export-Controlled Technical Data
Exposure Through SaaS Integrations and AI Tools
Compliance Complexity in Multi-Tenant Cloud Environments
Meeting ITAR, EAR, DFARS, and CMMC requirements is difficult in multi-tenant cloud environments where sensitive technical data shares infrastructure. This increases the risk of unauthorized access, data spillover, and foreign jurisdictional exposure.
Native Encryption Can Undermine Data Sovereignty
The Stratokey Cloud Data Protection Platform Can Help Aerospace Organizations
StratoKey operates as a gateway between your users and your cloud applications, encrypting or tokenizing sensitive data before it leaves your network. The cloud provider only ever holds ciphertext or tokens.
- FIPS 140-3-Validated Field Level Encryption: Encrypted end-to-end before data reaches any SaaS platform.
- Field-Level Tokenization: Sensitive data is replaced with tokens and stored locally, keeping controlled content onshore and reducing compliance scope.
- Customer-Controlled Keys: (BYOK / HYOK) Encryption keys never reside with the cloud provider.
- Geofenced Access Controls: Restrict controlled data to U.S. persons and approved locations to meet ITAR access requirements.
- Audit Logging: Immutable logs for every access and decryption event, supporting CMMC assessments and DFARS incident reporting.
- Application-Agnostic Works across ERPs, PLMs, QMSs, MESs. Includes: Plex, NetSuite, Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Slack, and custom applications.
Meet Aerospace Regulatory Requirements Across Global Programs
StratoKey supports compliance with ITAR, EAR, DFARS, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, NIST SP 800-53, and FedRAMP for U.S. defense and aerospace programs, as well as international frameworks including the EU GDPR, NIS2, Australia's DISP, and Singapore's PDPA.
CMMC
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
Tokenize CUI to meet Level 2 and Level 3 requirements under 32 CFR Part 170. StratoKey supports Access Control (AC), Audit and Accountability (AU), and System and Communications Protection (SC) control families, and can keep CUI within your FedRAMP-authorized environment.
ITAR
International Traffic in Arms Regulations
Secure USML-controlled technical data under 22 CFR Parts 120-130 before it enters any cloud platform. Geofenced access controls restrict decryption to authorized U.S. persons, reducing deemed export risk across your supply chain.
EAR
Export Administration Regulations
Protect dual-use aerospace technology on the Commerce Control List, including ECCNs 9A515, 9E515, and 9A004, before it reaches cloud applications. Audit logging supports BIS compliance across programs and supply chains.
DFARS 252.204-7012
Safeguarding Covered Defense Information
Meet CUI safeguarding and cyber incident reporting requirements for DoD contracts, underpinned by NIST SP 800-171 compliance.
NIST 800-171
Protecting CUI in Nonfederal Systems
Support compliance across the control families in Rev 2 and Rev 3, including Access Control, Audit and Accountability, and System and Communications Protection, for engineering data and program documentation in cloud environments.
