These efforts have strengthened GIGAFLIGHT's cybersecurity and positioned it as a leader in ensuring the integrity and availability of sensitive information.

"The most effective and efficient way to achieve self-assessment certification was through our partnership with Aeroplicity," said Ben Hackett, CEO of GIGAFLIGHT. "We wanted to proactively address the mandate and reassure our customers that we prioritize the safety and security of their data."
