Security at every link.

Threats to the federal supply chain keep evolving, driven by state-sponsored interdiction, malicious hardware taint, and counterfeits that compromise mission systems long before deployment. Paragon Micro does not just move hardware. We defend our customers' supply chains at every link, with four third-party audited certifications standing behind the claim.

  • AuthenticityAS5553

    Counterfeit avoidance, detection, and disposition. Authorized sources only, suspect parts quarantined and reported.

  • TraceabilityAS9120

    Distributor quality and traceability. Every part tracks back to the original manufacturer, by serial number.

  • Trusted TechISO/IEC 20243:2018

    Secure engineering against malicious taint, not only counterfeits, across the whole product lifecycle.

  • QualityISO 9001:2015

    Audited process discipline: documented procedures, corrective action, records control, management review.

Inside the Secure Integration Center

More than just certifications. Real facilities. Real controls. Real security.

A certificate is a promise. Ours is backed by an access-controlled integration center where vetted U.S. citizens receive, build, harden, test, and ship your hardware under serialized custody, in segregated program space with camera coverage and records you can audit.

  • 55,000+Square feet of secure integration and staging space
  • 100%Vetted U.S. citizens touching customer hardware
  • 1,000Devices staged daily under serialized custody
  • <1%Dead on arrival and defect rate across programs
  • 48 to 72hrROM to firm quote, engineering and PMO in house
