Government contractors and defense manufacturers develop products that are subject to strict export control, cybersecurity, and quality management standards. They must meet these regulatory demands while accelerating innovation in today’s highly competitive environment.
Arena PLM for AWS GovCloud offers a secure, turnkey PLM solution for government contractors and suppliers. Keep your product and quality data secure, control access to CUI, and stay audit ready without slowing product development.
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) govern the export of products, technology, and related technical data to foreign entities.
Regulations like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) require government contractors handling Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) to have proper security measures in place.
AS9100 provides aerospace and defense companies the quality management system (QMS) framework to design, develop, and manufacture safe and reliable products that meet customer expectations.
