Industry Standards and Requirements

This webinar will introduce the key Cyber Security Industry Standards and Requirements with special attention to those applicable to working with the US Department of Defense (consideration for being awarded DoD contracts).  Included will be an introduction to the key cybersecurity documents/concepts/certifications, how they relate to one another, and what contractors to the DoD will need to do.  Those items are:

• NIST Special Publication 800-171 governing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in Non-Federal Information Systems and Organizations
• Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) version 1.0 released by the Department of Defense in January of 2020.
• Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) which contains guidelines for DoD agencies to use in selecting contractors/vendors
