CMMC Compliance for Drone & UAV Companies

Protect sensitive drone designs and manufacturing data. Meet DoD requirements and secure your position in the rapidly growing defense UAV market.

Why CMMC Matters for Drone & UAV Companies

The drone industry is a critical and rapidly growing segment of defense technology.

Emerging Defense Priority

Autonomous systems are a top DoD priority. The drone supply chain is expanding rapidly, and CMMC compliance is essential for companies wanting to participate in defense programs.

Sensitive Technology Data

Drone designs, flight control algorithms, sensor integrations, and manufacturing processes are high-value targets. Protecting this CUI is critical for national security and your business.

Small Company Targets

Many drone companies are smaller, innovative firms—exactly the type adversaries target because they often lack enterprise security capabilities. CMMC levels the playing field.

Unique Challenges for Drone Companies

Drone and UAV companies face specific compliance challenges that require practical, startup-friendly approaches. We understand the realities of fast-moving technology companies.

Startup/Scale-up Environment

Many drone companies are growing fast with lean teams. Compliance can't slow you down—it needs to fit your pace.

Hardware + Software + Data

Drone companies work across embedded systems, cloud platforms, and physical manufacturing—all potentially in scope for CUI.

Distributed Teams

Engineering talent is global. Remote work and distributed development require thoughtful security approaches.

Dual-Use Technology

Commercial and defense applications often share platforms, requiring careful CUI boundary definition.

How Mojave Helps Drone & UAV Companies

Practical compliance that fits the pace of innovation.

Enclave-First Approach

For companies with commercial and defense work, we help design enclaves that isolate CUI processing and minimize compliance scope.

Startup-Friendly Process

We work with lean teams and fast timelines. Our process is designed for companies that can't dedicate months to compliance paperwork.

Tech-Focused Documentation

Documentation that reflects modern development practices—CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and agile workflows.

Contract-Ready Timelines

We understand contract deadlines drive urgency. Fixed milestones help you plan around opportunities.
