IT challenges manufacturers and distributors face
Manufacturers and distributors depend on ERP, MRP and warehouse systems, scanners and label printers, machines on the network and shipping integrations — often across multiple buildings and shifts. Many also work with the Department of Defense supply chain, where CMMC requirements are now part of contracts.
- ERP and production uptime — Every hour the ERP or a production line is down affects orders, shipping and revenue.
- Shop floor and warehouse networks — Scanners, printers, machines and Wi-Fi in large, demanding environments.
- Securing operational technology — Machines and controllers that can’t be patched like PCs need to be isolated from threats.
- CMMC and customer requirements — Defense and enterprise customers expect documented security controls.

CMMC for defense suppliers
If you build parts or provide services for the Department of Defense supply chain, CMMC requirements are flowing into contracts. We help you understand where controlled unclassified information lives, assess your gaps against NIST SP 800-171, calculate your SPRS score and build the system security plan and plan of action to close them. Learn more about our CMMC compliance services.
Shop floor, MES and OT realities
Behind the ERP sits the plant floor: MES and quality systems, CAD/CAM and DNC software that sends programs to CNC machines, PLCs and HMIs on production lines, and barcode scanners and label printers. In distribution, a WMS drives RF scanners, conveyor and sortation controls and shipping stations tied to parcel and LTL carriers. Many of those devices run older Windows versions or embedded firmware that the machine builder won’t let you update.
These devices can’t be protected like laptops, so we protect around them: separate networks for machines, firewall rules that allow only the traffic each line needs, controlled remote access for machine builders and integrators, and monitoring at the boundary. Ransomware that starts with an email shouldn’t be able to reach a machine controller.
Customer requirements keep growing. Beyond CMMC for defense work, large customers send security questionnaires, and EDI connections with customers and suppliers have to run every day.
