The certification followed an intensive third-party audit of the company’s internal cybersecurity infrastructure. By reaching this tier, Palomar joins an exclusive group of roughly 2,000 organizations nationwide authorized to manage high-level defense contracts that demand stringent data protection protocols. The achievement serves as a formal verification of the security safeguards Palomar has embedded into its manufacturing and operational workflows.

Paul Ninefeldt, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, noted that the process required an organization-wide overhaul to align with federal requirements. For the company, which supports technology across 250 aircraft types and nine classes of warships, the status is a strategic necessity to maintain its position within the TransDigm Group portfolio. This credential ensures the company remains eligible for future defense programs where cybersecurity compliance has become a primary barrier to entry.
