A CMMC-ready ERP that treats controlled data like the asset it is
Win work from foreign primes and you inherit their data-security expectations: protect Controlled Unclassified Information, respect ITAR boundaries, and prove who touched what. Elite Tech configures Zoho and builds custom AWS so access control, data segregation and audit trails are enforced by the system, not by policy alone.
One platform, built on the tools aerospace & defence manufacturers already trust, Zoho Advanced Partner + custom development on AWS
Made for CMMC-ready data control
From Bengaluru’s HAL, ISRO, DRDO cluster to Hyderabad, Nashik and Kanpur, Elite Tech configures Zoho for the way Indian A&D manufacturers actually build.
Data-security expectations now travel down the supply chain
When a Bangalore supplier joins a global aerospace programme, the prime does not just audit part quality. It audits how drawings, specifications and technical data are stored, who can open them, and whether every access is logged. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification style controls, once a US primes-only concern, now shape sourcing decisions for Indian A&D manufacturers feeding HAL, DRDO and export programmes.
The risk is concrete. A single controlled drawing left in a shared folder, an unmanaged export of technical data, or an audit trail that cannot show who downloaded a specification can disqualify a supplier from a programme or trigger contractual penalties. Generic ERP was never built to segregate Controlled Unclassified Information or respect ITAR data boundaries.
Elite Tech Corporation configures Zoho and builds custom apps on AWS so security is structural. Controlled data sits in segregated stores, access follows least-privilege roles, exports are gated, and every action writes to an immutable log. We do not sell our own ERP; we implement a platform hardened around your compliance obligations, with the evidence a CMMC-style assessment expects.
How the platform enforces data security
Every module built into one configured Zoho plus custom AWS platform, from RFQ and BOM to inspection, dispatch and MRO.
CUI data segregation
Controlled Unclassified Information is held in dedicated, tagged stores separated from general business data, so sensitive drawings and specifications never mingle with everyday records.
CUI data segregationRole-based least-privilege access
Every user sees only the data their role and programme clearance permit, with access granted deliberately rather than inherited by default across the whole system.
Role-based least-privilege accessITAR and export-control flags
Technical data that falls under ITAR or export-control rules is flagged at the record level, and sharing outside approved users or geographies is blocked and logged.
ITAR and export-controlImmutable audit trail
Every view, edit, download and export writes a tamper-evident log entry with user, timestamp and record, giving assessors a complete history of who touched what.
Immutable audit trailSegregated AWS hosting
Controlled workloads run in an isolated AWS environment with GovCloud-style segregation, encryption at rest and in transit, and network boundaries you can evidence.
Segregated AWS hostingMulti-factor and identity controls
Enforced multi-factor authentication, session controls and single sign-on tie every action to a verified identity, closing the anonymous-access gap generic tools leave open.
Multi-factor and identityDocument lifecycle and disposal
Controlled documents follow a managed lifecycle from creation to retention and secure disposal, so nothing lingers past its permitted life without a record.
Document lifecycle andAssessment evidence pack
Access reports, log extracts and control mappings assemble into an evidence pack that maps to CMMC-style practice areas for supplier assessments and prime audits.

How a controlled record moves through the system
One connected flow from enquiry to dispatch and aftermarket, every stage captured against the order and the serial.
Classify on entry
As a drawing or specification enters the system it is classified, tagged as CUI or export-controlled where relevant, and routed to the correct segregated store.
Step 1Assign access by role
Access is granted against role and programme clearance under least privilege, so only cleared users on that programme can open the record.
Step 2Verify identity
Users authenticate with enforced multi-factor and single sign-on, binding every subsequent action to a verified identity.
Step 3Work under monitoring
Engineering, quality and production use the record inside the configured Zoho flow while each interaction is silently logged.
Step 4Gate any export
Attempts to download, email or share controlled data are checked against export-control rules and approved-recipient lists before they proceed.
Step 5Log every action
View, edit, download and share events write immutable entries to the audit trail with user, time and record identifiers.
Step 6Detect and alert
Unusual access patterns, out-of-role attempts and blocked exports raise alerts to security owners for review.
Step 7Retain and dispose
When the record reaches end of life it is retained or securely disposed of per policy, with the disposal itself recorded.
Step 8Produce evidence on demand
For a prime audit or CMMC-style assessment, access reports and log extracts are exported as a mapped evidence pack in minutes.
Step 9Two workflows, one connected platform
The manufacturing heart and the sales journey, side by side. Click any stage to walk through exactly what happens at that step.

Your questions answered
A CMMC-ready ERP enforces the practice areas an assessment expects: access control, identification and authentication, audit and accountability, media protection and configuration management, and it can produce evidence of each. Elite Tech configures Zoho plus custom AWS so these controls are enforced by the system and documented in immutable logs.
CUI is tagged on entry and held in dedicated, segregated stores apart from general business data. Access to those stores follows least-privilege roles and programme clearance, so sensitive drawings and specifications never sit in shared, open folders.
Yes. Records that fall under ITAR or export controls are flagged at the record level. Sharing, download or email to users or geographies outside the approved list is blocked and logged, so export boundaries are enforced rather than trusted.
Every view, edit, download, share and export writes a tamper-evident entry with user identity, timestamp and record reference. The log is immutable, so assessors and primes get a complete, defensible history of who accessed what and when.
It means controlled workloads run in an isolated AWS environment with strict network boundaries, encryption at rest and in transit, and separated access, mirroring the segregation model used for sensitive government workloads. Elite Tech builds and you own that environment.
Certification is issued by accredited assessors, not by us. What Elite Tech provides is a platform that implements the technical controls and produces the access reports and log evidence those assessors and your primes expect, so you go into an assessment prepared rather than exposed.
No. Elite Tech Corporation is a Zoho Advanced Partner and AWS Cloud partner. We configure Zoho and build custom apps on AWS around your security obligations. You own the custom code, the AWS account and your data.
Yes. Production, inventory, quality and commercial workflows run on the same configured Zoho platform and inherit the same role-based access, identity controls and logging, so security is uniform rather than confined to a document vault.
