Input Trace combines enterprise-grade security engineering with real-world manufacturing experience to build practical, compliant, and assessment-ready CUI environments.

Input Trace is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) founded by cybersecurity architects with deep federal, corporate, and operational roots. Our team has led security and compliance programs for some of the world’s most demanding environments—from U.S. Navy destroyers to global Fortune 500 enterprises.

Input Trace isn’t staffed with generic “compliance consultants.” Our team comes from enterprise security architecture, cloud engineering, digital forensics, and manufacturing operations. The people designing your environment are the same people implementing it, no handoffs, no subcontractors

We’ve worked across the DIB ecosystem—veterans, enterprise architects, and engineers who’ve supported the very systems and suppliers that keep U.S. manufacturing running. We understand how small and mid-sized shops actually operate because we’ve lived it, not studied it from the outside.

Most consultants try to force manufacturers into cookie-cutter compliance playbooks. We don’t do that.
Input Trace starts with how your company actually works — how CUI moves through engineering, CAM, DNC, email, suppliers, floor operators, and production. Then we translate those real workflows into a secure, CMMC-ready architecture.

We build pre-engineered cloud and hybrid baselines tailored for small and mid-sized manufacturers. Instead of starting from scratch, you launch on a secure foundation with hardened identity patterns, private endpoints, segmentation, logging and monitoring already built in, supported by a complete policy library. Every workflow template is aligned to how your engineering, CAM, and shop-floor data actually move, giving you a real, operational environment—not a conceptual diagram.
