CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) version 2.0 was released in November 2021 is an improvement of CMMC meant to simplify and streamline the certification process. CMMC 2.0 includes the new CMMC levels and the updated procedures and practices. It also establishes a more targeted approach towards safeguarding controlled unclassified information. However, many organizations in the Defense Industrial Base are still reviewing the guidelines to understand how they can adjust and remain in line with CMMC 2.0.
We have developed an informative and comprehensive article about CMMC compliance that will help you understand the topic in detail. In this article, we will discuss what CMMC compliance is, why it’s important, and what the different levels of cybersecurity maturity are. Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge you need to navigate this complex subject and stay ahead of the competition.
As cyber threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, it’s more important than ever for organizations to have a strong and comprehensive security program in place. Two critical components of such a program are the System Security Plan (SSP) and the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M).
Overview of NIST
In 1901, Congress established the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). NIST SP 800-171 became one of its focuses, and it began by standardizing weights and measures. As the U.S. industry grew, NIST expanded into areas like electronics, computer science, and materials science to support innovation.
NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-171 and NIST SP 800-53 are two important publications from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that provide guidance on information security controls. Understanding the differences between the two publications is crucial for ensuring compliance with applicable regulations and best practices in information security. In this article, we will explore the details of each publication, their differences, and the compliance requirements.
