ABCorp 3D: A Legacy of Security, Trust, and Compliance in Additive Manufacturing

ABCorp 3D: A Legacy of Security, Trust, and Compliance in Additive Manufacturing

In today’s digital manufacturing era, security, compliance, and trust are no longer optional; they are essential. As additive manufacturing (AM) becomes more advanced, companies and customers alike must ensure that sensitive data, proprietary designs, and end-use products meet the highest possible standards of quality and protection.

For over 230 years, ABCorp has built its reputation on safeguarding sensitive information and delivering secure, compliant solutions. From printing the first U.S. anti-counterfeit currency in 1795 to manufacturing secure financial cards and high-precision 3D-printed parts today, security is not just part of what we do; it’s who we are.

Building Trust Through Certified Excellence

Certifications are more than badges; they are our customers’ assurance that ABCorp 3D’s processes are independently verified for quality, consistency, and security.

  • ISO 9001:2015 – Ensures every product and process meets the strictest standards for quality management, precision, and continuous improvement.
  • ISO 14001:2015 – Demonstrates our commitment to sustainability by minimizing environmental impact and adhering to global environmental standards.
  • HITRUST CSF – Validates that we meet one of the most rigorous frameworks for data protection, safeguarding sensitive medical, financial, and design information.
  • ITAR Registered – Required for aerospace and defense manufacturing, ensuring compliance with U.S. government security and export control regulations.
  • Intergraf Security Printing Certification – Ensures the integrity of secure printed items, including passports, ID cards, and payment materials.
  • IRAP Assessed – Confirms our adherence to government-level cybersecurity standards for handling classified and sensitive information.
  • Sedex Registered – Upholds ethical supply chain standards in labor, environmental responsibility, and sustainable sourcing.

Each certification reinforces our core promise: every part, product, and process at ABCorp 3D meets global expectations for quality, ethics, and security.

Why Security Matters in 3D Printing

The intersection of 3D printing and cybersecurity presents unique challenges. Every day, additive manufacturers handle digital design files, customer data, and even patient-specific medical scans, all of which qualify as personally identifiable information (PII) or proprietary intellectual property (IP).

Without robust cybersecurity frameworks, these assets are vulnerable to theft, tampering, or duplication. Hackers can exploit PII for identity fraud or sell stolen design files to counterfeiters, resulting in major financial and reputational damage.

ABCorp 3D mitigates these risks through multi-layered data protection protocols, strict access controls, and end-to-end encryption, all aligned with international standards such as HIPAA, NIST 800-88, and ISO 27001.

This is particularly critical in sectors such as healthcare, defense, and finance, where data breaches could jeopardize patient privacy, national security, or financial trust.

The ABCorp Security Framework: A Multi-Layered Approach

Security at ABCorp is not a department store; it’s our foundation. We employ an umbrella approach that blends multiple frameworks and regulatory standards across all facilities and industries we serve.

Comprehensive Risk Management

Following ISO 31000:2018, ABCorp continuously evaluates risks through:

  • Annual risk and compliance assessments
  • Project-specific risk logs
  • Penetration and continuity testing
  • Incident response simulations
  • Change control and non-conformance reviews

This proactive structure ensures that risks are addressed globally, not just at the project level, protecting every client in our network.

Data Protection and Secure Environments

All ABCorp sites operate discrete, segregated data environments to prevent unauthorized access. Sensitive customer data is encrypted, stored within controlled networks, and securely sanitized at end-of-life using NIST 800-88 standards.

Our facilities are continuously monitored, and every employee undergoes rigorous training in secure data handling and compliance protocols.

A Legacy of Secure Innovation

ABCorp’s leadership in secure manufacturing is grounded in both heritage and innovation. We hold financial accreditations from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, confirming our ability to manage the world’s most sensitive financial information.

Today, those same principles extend to our Boston-based additive manufacturing facility, equipped with HP Multi Jet Fusion 580 and 5210 printers, which produce precision parts in PA11, PA12, Polypropylene, and TPU. Whether we’re printing aerospace prototypes or patient-specific medical devices, the same secure manufacturing standards apply.

Setting the Standard for Secure Additive Manufacturing

At its core, our commitment to security, compliance, and ethical responsibility empowers customers to innovate confidently. Whether you’re developing aerospace components, medical devices, or consumer products, ABCorp 3D ensures that your designs, data, and intellectual property remain fully protected from concept to completion.
