Businesses specializing in system integration, R&D technology, and innovation face unique challenges - especially when it comes to government contracts and data security.
When dealing with defense, aerospace, medical, and industrial systems, protecting sensitive design data and intellectual property is as critical as delivering flawless hardware.
Whether you’re a Federal Systems Integrator, a contractor in defense and space manufacturing, or an R&D partner driving technological breakthroughs, San Francisco Circuits’ PCB manufacturing and assembly solutions are tailored to meet the most demanding requirements and uncompromising cybersecurity.
Since 2005, San Francisco Circuits has been a trusted U.S. provider of advanced PCB manufacturing and assembly solutions for R&D innovators, prime contractors, and integration experts.
For federal and defense projects, reliability is paramount. San Francisco Circuits adheres to stringent standards and guidelines, including NIST 800-171 cybersecurity guidelines and ITAR compliance, ensuring that your mission-critical systems meet or exceed all regulatory requirements.
Through a network of rigorously qualified domestic partners, SFC delivers precision, rapid prototyping, and mission-critical reliability — all while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and supply chain security.
SFC understands that system integrators often operate within high-security environments, handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and ITAR-regulated data. To protect this information, SFC has implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity framework aligned with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) requirements.
Key cybersecurity measures include:
These controls allow SFC to maintain trusted relationships with defense and aerospace primes, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and traceability at every stage of the PCB lifecycle.
