Engineering Design Cybersecurity — CMIT Solutions of Dallas

1. What cyber risks are unique to engineering design?

Targeted phishing for project data, ransomware on PDM/PLM vaults, supplier compromise, and exfiltration of CAD models, drawings, and simulations.

2. How do you secure CAD/BIM repositories and license servers?

Network segmentation, MFA/SSO, service account hardening, IP allow-lists, certificate pinning (where supported), and continuous patching of FlexLM/servers.

3. Can you prevent ransomware from encrypting design files?

Yes—EDR with behavior analytics, application control, least-privilege share access, and immutable/off-site backups for rapid, clean restores.

4. How do you protect remote/field engineers?

Zero-trust access, device compliance checks, full-disk encryption, secure Wi-Fi guidance, and VDI/secure sync to keep models safe on the move.

5. Do collaboration tools like Teams/SharePoint pose risks?

They can. We enforce DLP for CAD filetypes, sensitivity labels, restricted external sharing, link expirations, and watermarking on downloads.

6. Which frameworks do you align with for engineering projects?

ITAR/EAR, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and client NDA/IP clauses—mapped to practical controls in CAD/BIM/PLM environments.

7. How do you secure third-party vendors and contractors?

Just-in-time guest access, role-based permissions, time-boxed links, endpoint posture checks, and monitored sessions with detailed audit trails.

8. What email and identity protections do you deploy?

Advanced phishing and impersonation filters, DMARC/DKIM/SPF, MFA everywhere, conditional access, and passwordless/SSO where feasible.

9. How are design files backed up and tested?

Versioned, application-consistent backups of vault DB + filestore, monthly sample restores, and quarterly full restore drills with documented results.
