When a PCB assembly project involves defense applications, sensitive technical data or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), cybersecurity is as critical as quality, speed and manufacturability.
Screaming Circuits has achieved CMMC Level 2 certification through a third-party assessment. This milestone strengthens our ability to provide secure, quick-turn PCB assembly services to defense contractors, government suppliers and other organizations within the Defense Industrial Base.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program provides assurance that defense contractors and subcontractors have implemented appropriate safeguards for Federal Contract Information (FCI) and CUI. Screaming Circuits’ CMMC Level 2 certification was validated through an independent assessment; not solely through a self-assessment.
For customers, this provides greater confidence in both our manufacturing capabilities and our approach to protecting sensitive information.
Greater Protection for Sensitive PCB Manufacturing Data
PCB assembly projects often require customers to share sensitive technical and program information, including:
Our CMMC Level 2 certification demonstrates that required cybersecurity practices have been implemented and independently assessed within the applicable environment.
Customers can have greater confidence that sensitive information is handled through established, documented and controlled processes throughout their engagement with Screaming Circuits.
Independent Third-Party Validation
CMMC Level 2 certification through a third-party assessment provides a higher degree of assurance than an organization’s internal evaluation of its own cybersecurity practices.
The assessment confirms that applicable security requirements have been examined by an authorized, independent CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).
For customers, this independent validation helps reduce uncertainty when evaluating the cybersecurity readiness of a prospective PCB assembly partner. It demonstrates that our security practices have been reviewed against an established Department of Defense framework.
A Stronger Defense Manufacturing Supply Chain
Cybersecurity risk extends throughout the defense supply chain. Even when customers maintain strong internal controls, sensitive information can become vulnerable when it is shared with suppliers that lack appropriate safeguards.
CMMC requirements may apply to contractors and subcontractors that process, store or transmit covered information in support of Department of Defense contracts.
Working with a CMMC Level 2-certified PCB assembly provider can help customers:
Cybersecurity is only as strong as the organizations entrusted with sensitive information. Our certification demonstrates our commitment to being a responsible partner within that supply chain.
Reduced Risk During Supplier Qualification
Qualifying a PCB assembly partner for defense work requires more than reviewing manufacturing equipment, quality certifications and production experience. Engineering, sourcing and compliance teams must also determine whether a supplier can satisfy the cybersecurity requirements associated with their program.
Choosing Screaming Circuits may help customers:
Our CMMC Level 2 certification provides documented, third-party validation of our cybersecurity readiness within the applicable assessment scope.
Secure, Quick-Turn PCB Assembly for Defense Applications
Defense engineering teams often need prototype and low-volume PCB assemblies quickly. Speed, however, should not come at the expense of information security.
Screaming Circuits combines quick-turn PCB assembly expertise with a CMMC Level 2-certified environment, helping customers maintain development momentum while supporting applicable cybersecurity requirements.
Our PCB assembly services include:
This combination of responsiveness, manufacturing expertise and cybersecurity discipline provides a strong foundation for developing defense electronics and other sensitive technologies.
Cybersecurity Support from Prototype Through Production
Sensitive information should be protected throughout the product lifecycle; not only after a design reaches full production.
Working with a CMMC Level 2-certified electronics manufacturing partner during prototyping can help customers establish secure information-sharing practices earlier. This may reduce the need to change suppliers or restructure processes as a program matures and moves toward higher volumes.
Through our connection with Milwaukee Electronics, Screaming Circuits can also help customers create a coordinated path from quick-turn prototypes and low-volume builds to longer-term electronics manufacturing support.
A Demonstrated Commitment to Cybersecurity
CMMC Level 2 certification is more than a technology initiative or one-time assessment. Maintaining an effective cybersecurity program requires documented processes, employee awareness, access controls, ongoing accountability and continued attention to evolving risks.
For customers, our third-party certification demonstrates that Screaming Circuits treats cybersecurity as an essential part of supporting defense and other security-conscious markets.
It reflects the same disciplined approach we bring to:
The Customer Value of CMMC Level 2-Certified PCB Assembly
Partnering with Screaming Circuits gives customers:
No certification can eliminate every cybersecurity risk. However, CMMC Level 2 provides a structured framework for protecting sensitive government information and strengthening security throughout the Defense Industrial Base.
