Why Defense Is Different

Your Vendor's Security
Is Your Audit Finding

Defense work pushes requirements down the chain. A prime on a DOD program flows cybersecurity, export control and personnel security obligations to every subcontractor and vendor that touches the contract, and employee records tied to a program count as controlled information. If the company that employs your workforce is not CMMC certified, that gap shows up in your assessment, not theirs.

Alabama sits at the centre of it: Redstone Arsenal and the Huntsville cluster, Airbus and the aerospace corridor in Mobile, naval programs in Pascagoula, and NASA at Marshall. Revelation was built to employ craft and technical staff inside that environment, and holds the certification that lets you put our name on your supply chain.

the program difference

Revelation is headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, with Newport News, Virginia opening in 2026. We are CMMC certified and employ workers on aerospace and defense programs every week.

Five Problems a Program Creates
1
CMMC Flow DownCybersecurity requirements reach every vendor handling controlled information
2
Export ControlITAR restricted work requires US person verification before assignment
3
Site Access and ClearancesBackground investigations, badging and drug testing standards set by the prime
4
Program Funding CyclesHeadcount that follows contract awards, options and continuing resolutions
5
Certified CraftNADCAP, FAA and process certifications tracked per technician

The Compliance Stack

Four Regimes a Defense
Placement Can Trigger

These are unrelated bodies of federal regulation that happen to stack on the same hire. Most workforce vendors can satisfy one of them.

CybersecurityCMMC and DFARS Flow Down

Defense contracts carry DFARS clauses that require cybersecurity controls for any organization handling controlled unclassified information, and employee records tied to a program qualify. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program makes that requirement assessable and pushes it down to subcontractors and vendors. Revelation is CMMC certified. What CMMC requires →

Export ControlITAR and US Person Status

Technical data and defense articles under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations can only be accessed by US persons unless a licence applies. That means verifying citizenship or permanent residence before a technician is assigned to restricted work, and documenting it. Revelation captures and retains that verification as part of onboarding.

Personnel SecuritySite Access and Investigations

Installations and prime facilities enforce background investigations, drug testing and badge requirements on every vendor employee. Some positions require a security clearance sponsored by the prime. Revelation administers the access standards and supports the clearance process with the employment records it requires.

QualityCertified Processes and Craft

Aerospace work requires technicians whose certifications are current: NADCAP special processes, FAA repair station authorizations, composite and bonding qualifications. Revelation tracks certification dates per employee so a lapse does not stop a line.

Platform vs Program EOR

Why a Global Hiring Platform
Cannot Staff a Defense Program

Software led EOR platforms are built to onboard a knowledge worker in a new jurisdiction. A defense program asks for things their model does not contain, starting with certification.

FAQ

Aerospace and Defense EOR Questions

What does an Employer of Record do for an aerospace or defense contractor?

+

The EOR becomes the legal employer of your technicians, craft and program staff. It runs weekly payroll, withholds and files taxes in every state involved, carries workers compensation, administers benefits, and handles ITAR verification, DOD site access and CMMC compliant data handling. You keep full control of who works, on which program, and under whose supervision.

Is Revelation CMMC certified?

+

Yes. Employee data connected to controlled programs is handled inside a certified environment, so putting Revelation on your supply chain does not create a finding in your own assessment.

Does the EOR verify US person status for ITAR work?

+

Yes. Citizenship or permanent residence is verified and documented at onboarding, with export control acknowledgements captured before any assignment to restricted technical data or defense articles.

Can Revelation employ cleared personnel?

+

Security clearances are sponsored by the prime or the government, not the employer of record. Revelation supports the process with the employment verification and records it requires, and administers the background, drug testing and badge standards the installation sets.

What happens when a program option is not exercised?

+

Headcount scales down with no termination fees and no entity to unwind. When the next award lands, the same staff can be re employed in days with their verification and access records intact.

Is an EOR the same as a staffing agency?

+

No. A staffing agency finds and supplies workers. An Employer of Record employs workers you have already identified and carries the payroll, tax, insurance and compliance obligations of employing them. Revelation is an EOR and is often engaged alongside a contractor's existing recruiting function.
