CMMC compliance for industrial fabrication
CMMC Compliance for Industrial Fabrication
Industrial fabricators build the large structural assemblies that keep defense platforms in the field. We bring your weld shops, cutting cells, and assembly floors to CMMC Level 2 without disrupting fabrication schedules.

Industrial fabricators cut, weld, and assemble the structural components that underpin naval platforms, ground vehicles, munitions handling, and shelter systems. The drawings, weld procedures, NDE records, and material certifications that ride those contracts are overwhelmingly CUI under NIST SP 800-171.
Fab shops face an unusual CMMC challenge. Your environment mixes heavy-industrial OT, plasma tables, laser cutters, robotic welders, weld positioners, with traditional IT on engineering, estimating, and quality. Most of those industrial controllers cannot run modern endpoint tooling, and the shop network was designed for uptime rather than cybersecurity.
Primes and shipyards including HII, General Dynamics Electric Boat, BAE Systems, and Oshkosh are already requiring their fabrication suppliers to demonstrate CMMC Level 2 readiness before issuing new awards. Losing a prime qualification can take years to rebuild.
We design CMMC programs that respect industrial realities: keep the torch running, keep the welder arc-time up, and protect the data without gluing a SIEM agent to a PLC that has not been patched since 2011.
Controlled Unclassified Information We Protect in Industrial Fabrication
Structural & Assembly Drawings
Weldment drawings, GA drawings, and assembly prints flowed down from primes and shipyards.
WPS, PQR, and Welder Qualifications
Welding procedure specifications, procedure qualification records, and welder performance records tied to defense work.
NDE & Inspection Records
UT, RT, MT, PT, and VT reports tied to CUI drawings and heat numbers.
Material Certifications
DFARS specialty metals compliance, heat numbers, mill certifications, and chemistry reports.
Cutting & Nesting Files
DXF, CSV, and CAM outputs for plasma, laser, and waterjet systems.
Customer POs & Specs
Shipyard or prime POs citing DFARS 7012 and MIL-SPEC requirements.
What CMMC services do we provide for industrial fabrication?
End-to-end CMMC consulting, fixed-price. See how CMMC compliance works.
Gap assessment
A full review against all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, with a documented SPRS score and a clear picture of where your CUI lives.
Readiness assessment
A mock assessment that mirrors the official methodology, with objective evidence collection and interview coaching.
Policy and documentation
SSP, POA&M, incident response plan and the supporting policy set, written in plain English for how you operate.
Technical controls
Network segmentation, FIPS-validated encryption, MFA, audit logging, vulnerability management and endpoint hardening.
Managed compliance
Log review, vulnerability scanning, quarterly evidence refresh and annual SSP updates between assessments.
Assessment support
Scoping, scheduling, interview coaching and on-site support during your formal assessment.
Industrial Fabrication: CMMC questions
Do my plasma and laser tables need MFA?
No. We segment fabrication OT into its own enclave and apply compensating controls at the boundary rather than modifying the table controllers.
What level do most fabricators need?
Level 2 is standard for naval and ground vehicle suppliers. Level 1 applies only to FCI-only work.
How long does readiness take?
Typically six to ten months for a 50-300 employee fab shop.
Does CMMC cover my WPS library?
Yes. Weld procedures tied to defense work are CUI and must be protected with access control, encryption, and audit logging.
