Defense

Controlled Information Does Not Tolerate an Open Tray.

Defense contractors and suppliers handle controlled unclassified information on paper as well as on screen. DEX Imaging supports that environment with badge-authenticated secure-release printing, full device audit logging, encrypted drives, and certified destruction documentation, so the print fleet is a controlled part of your environment rather than a gap in it.

The CUI reality

Defense suppliers are held to NIST SP 800-171 and, increasingly, to CMMC assessment. Those requirements reach the multifunction equipment, because an MFP stores, transmits, and prints the same controlled information the network does.

Controlled unclassified information on paper

Primes, subs, and suppliers holding DoD contracts. Drawings, specifications, and program documentation that carry CUI markings. DEX supports the handling requirement with secure-release printing so nothing prints unattended, device audit logging that records who printed what, and user authentication at the device.

Media sanitization and end of life

Security and facility officers. Multifunction equipment retains images on internal drives, which makes disposal a documented event rather than a pickup. DEX encrypts drives in service and provides certified data destruction documentation at end of lease for your records.

Program plus back office

Program and engineering

Technical documentation, drawing packages, and wide-format output for programs that still move on paper at review time, produced inside your facility rather than sent out.

Contracts and administration

MFPs, secure print, and document workflow for contracts, quality, HR, and finance, under the same fleet standard and the same service agreement.

Cleared Facilities

Service that respects the facility

Equipment inside a controlled facility cannot be serviced like equipment in an open office. DEX works to your access and escort requirements, coordinates on-site visits through your security process, and keeps the same local DEXperts on the account so you are not re-badging a new technician every quarter. Where a device cannot leave the building, the work happens on site. Specific facility clearance requirements should be confirmed with DEX for your location.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

How does DEX support NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC?
DEX supplies the print-side controls those frameworks reach: user authentication at the device, secure-release printing so output is never unattended, device audit logging, encrypted drives, and certified sanitization at end of life. Assessment and certification remain the contractor's responsibility; DEX supports the fleet portion of the control set.
What happens to hard drives in defense environments?
Drives are encrypted in service and, at end of lease or end of life, wiped or physically destroyed with certified data-destruction documentation supplied for your records.
Can printing be restricted to authorized users?
Yes. Jobs are held until the user authenticates at the device with a badge or PIN, so controlled documents do not print to an unattended tray, and the release is logged.
Can DEX service equipment inside a controlled facility?
DEX works to your access and escort requirements and keeps consistent local DEXperts on the account. Confirm the specific clearance and access requirements for your facility with DEX.
Does DEX support wide-format for technical drawings?
Yes. DEX sells and services wide-format plotters for drawing packages and technical output, so program documentation can be produced inside your facility.
Can DEX handle IT alongside the print fleet?
Yes. DEX Managed IT provides managed IT, cybersecurity, backup, and disaster recovery, which lets the same partner cover both the network and the imaging equipment that touches controlled information.
