NIST CMMC DFARS Compliance and Auditing is our specialty
What is NIST Special Publication 800-171?
NIST 800-171, published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, outlines requirements for handling controlled unclassified information (CUI) in nonfederal systems and organizations.
This framework establishes guidelines for protecting and sharing sensitive, though unclassified, information.
The standards were developed to enhance cybersecurity in response to a history of significant data breaches.
CMMC – Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification
You’ve implemented NIST 800-171—now it’s time to move on to the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), the next step in safeguarding data shared within the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
CMMC is a framework developed by the Department of Defense to ensure contractors and subcontractors meet and maintain specific compliance levels for protecting federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI).
The primary goal of CMMC is to strengthen the security of FCI and CUI, preventing unauthorized access by individuals or nations with malicious intent.
What Is DFARS?
The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) is a set of rules established by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure contractors and subcontractors adhere to specific cybersecurity practices for protecting sensitive information.
DFARS builds upon the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which serves as the general guideline for businesses seeking to work with the DoD. While FAR outlines baseline requirements, DFARS introduces additional security measures to ensure organizations implement robust protections for safeguarding sensitive data.
