From Silos to Systems: 2026 and Beyond
Welcome to the debut issue of I-Connect007 Magazine. This publication brings all of the pieces together from PCB design and fabrication for a closer alignment and a more integrated electronics manufacturing landscape.
Designing Proper Work-Life Balance
In this issue, we hear from designers, marketers, and business owners on how they apply their professional skills to their personal lives to build a healthier work-life balance.
Designing Proper Planes
Without planes, designers would have to create thousands of traces to accomplish the same objectives. Power planes provide low impedance and stable power, and ground planes stabilize reference voltage, improve thermal performance, and help preclude EMI issues.

Integris Expands Cybersecurity Services with New Compliance Offering in Collaboration with IntelliGRC
January 6, 2026 | PR NewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Integris, a national leader in future-ready managed services, today announced the launch of its CMMC Managed Services, designed to help defense contractors and supply chain partners achieve and maintain Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 compliance. This new offering is facilitated by IntelliGRC, a premier governance, risk, and compliance platform, that helps clients streamline compliance with confidence and is trusted by many CMMC 3rd Party Assessment Organizations (C3PAOs) for smooth assessments.
"We've walked the CMMC compliance path ourselves," said Dr. Brian Luckey, CIO at Integris. "Our firsthand experience achieving CMMC Level 2 certification means we know exactly what it takes. Now, we're leveraging that expertise along with IntelliGRC's premium platform, to help our clients meet compliance requirements efficiently and confidently."
In collaboration with IntelliGRC, Integris delivers a centralized compliance management platform that automates control mapping, evidence collection, and continuous compliance efforts, reducing complexity and ensuring audit readiness through comprehensive cybersecurity services.
"Integris doesn't just advise on CMMC - they've lived it!" said Ozzie Saeed, Founder of IntelliGRC. "By combining Integris' firsthand Level 2 certification experience with IntelliGRC's purpose-built compliance automation, we bring deep, practitioner-level understanding of what CMMC truly requires. Together, we're transforming CMMC from a confusing obligation into an operational advantage—providing the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) with a clear, proven, and scalable path to audit-ready, continuous compliance with confidence."
For Department of Defense (DoD) contractors and suppliers, CMMC compliance is more than just a regulatory requirement—it's a competitive business advantage. CMMC certified contractors and suppliers within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) can bid on and retain DoD contracts, reduce risk exposure, and demonstrate a verified cybersecurity posture to partners and customers. Due to the similarities with CMMC the Integris team is also trained and familiar with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's ITSP 10.171 and the Canadian Program for the rest of the US Government and its supply chain.
Key Features of Integris' CMMC Managed Services
- Readiness Assessments & Gap Analysis. Identify compliance gaps with the same level of rigor as a formal C3PAO assessment and create a prioritized roadmap.
- Remediation Planning & Execution. Accelerate implementation of required security controls.
- Managed Security Service. Continuous monitoring, threat detection, incident response, and vulnerability management that produces tangible and auditable evidence so clients can demonstrate due diligence at all times.
- Managed Cloud Services. Secure, compliant infrastructure tailored for defense contractors and suppliers.
- Audit-Ready Documentation and Evidence Artifacts. Comprehensive tracking, versioning and reporting to include CMMC specific evidence hashing streamline third-party audits.
Achieving CMMC compliance can be complex, resource-intensive, and time-consuming. Integris addresses these challenges with a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that combines expert guidance, managed security services, and secure cloud infrastructure—all backed by the company's own experience as a CMMC Level 2 certified organization.

12/29/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineTenets of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Program (CMMC) 2.0 went into effect on Nov. 10. What are the primary differences between 1.0 and 2.0 compliance, and what exactly must be in place now? CMMC 2.0 is now being written into DoD contracts and enforced through DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement), with a three-year phased rollout. For PCB and electronics manufacturers in the defense supply chain, this is now a real gate to doing business with the DoD, not a “nice to have.”

04/21/2023 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007SpaceX is back in the news and in a big, powerful, let’s-blow-up-a-rocket-because-we-can kind of way. The company had scheduled a test launch on Monday, April 17 for the SpaceX Starship, only to scrub that launch until this past Thursday. Well, the results from the launch were less than desirable—or were they? While Starship ultimately exploded just prior to stage separation, simply clearing the launchpad was considered a major milestone by SpaceX.
Panel Discussion: CMMC and Cybersecurity
04/18/2023 | Q&A by Maribel HernandezThe electronics manufacturing sector faces unique challenges when it comes to cybersecurity, given the highly sensitive nature of the information that it handles. With the introduction of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework, businesses will soon be required to meet specific, more stringent cybersecurity standards to bid on Department of Defense contracts. This has made cybersecurity hygiene and CMMC compliance more important than ever for businesses in the sector, as non-compliance can result in lost revenue and reputational damage.
