Built for
Controlled Work
DFARS aligned, NIST SP 800-171 aligned, and JCP certified. Here is exactly how we handle controlled defense work.
DFARS
Aligned safeguarding & flow-down
NIST SP 800-171
Aligned controls, SPRS submitted
JCP / DD2345
Certified for controlled technical data
Defense buyers do not just buy parts, they buy confidence that every part is handled to the right standard. LIGHTNX is structured for controlled defense work from the first email to final delivery.
DFARS Alignment
Orders are handled in line with applicable DFARS clauses, including the safeguarding of covered defense information. Our workflow is built to meet the obligations primes flow down to their supply chain.
NIST SP 800-171
Our practices are aligned to NIST SP 800-171, and our SPRS score has been submitted. Controlled information is handled under documented, repeatable controls rather than ad hoc.
Joint Certification Program (JCP / DD2345)
LIGHTNX is JCP certified (DD2345), authorizing access to controlled, militarily critical technical data needed to source and quote restricted components.
CUI Handling
Controlled Unclassified Information is segregated, access controlled, and tracked across the order lifecycle, with a clean record from quote to delivery.
Export & Denied-Party Screening
Every counterparty is screened against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, and outreach is restricted to approved NATO and GCC markets. We do not transact outside our cleared markets.
What we claim, and what we do not
We are transparent about our posture: LIGHTNX is DFARS aligned, NIST SP 800-171 aligned, and JCP certified. We do not hold ITAR registration, AS9145, or ISO certifications, and we do not claim them. Honesty about scope is part of how we earn trust.
How we handle your order
Every order moves through the same controlled, documented path, so you can see exactly where it is and who touched it at any hour.
Intake & screening
Your request and counterparty are screened against the U.S. Consolidated Screening List and our approved-nation policy before anything proceeds.
Controlled quoting
Sourcing and quoting happen under JCP authority for any controlled technical data, with access limited to cleared personnel.
CUI segregation
Controlled Unclassified Information is segregated, access-controlled, and logged — never handled ad hoc or shared outside the order.
Tracked fulfillment
The order is managed end to end inside our portal with a status timeline and a clear record of every change and document.
Documented delivery
Delivery is documented with full chain-of-custody and traceability, and the record stays available for audit after the order closes.
Straight answers
The questions procurement officers ask us most — answered plainly.
Are you ITAR registered?
No. We do not hold ITAR registration and we do not claim it. For ITAR-controlled articles we work within compliant arrangements and are upfront about scope on every engagement.
Do you hold ISO or AS9145?
No. We do not hold ISO or AS9145 certifications and we never present them as active. What we do hold — DFARS-aligned processes, NIST SP 800-171 alignment, and JCP (DD2345) — we can substantiate.
How is controlled information handled?
Controlled Unclassified Information is segregated, access-controlled, and tracked across the order lifecycle under documented NIST SP 800-171-aligned controls, with a clean record from quote to delivery.
Which markets do you serve?
Approved allied partner nations across the NATO and GCC corridor only. Every counterparty and destination is screened before any transaction proceeds; we do not transact outside our cleared markets.
Can you access restricted technical data to quote my part?
Yes — LIGHTNX is JCP certified (DD2345), which authorizes access to controlled, militarily critical technical data needed to source and quote restricted components.
How do I know where my order is?
Every order lives in our client portal with a status timeline, documents, and a record of who handled it — so you are never guessing between updates.
