With the increased use of and dependence on external system service providers by federal agencies, the protection of federal information such as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), is an important concern. NIST includes strong safeguards and countermeasures in SP 800-53 (SA-09) and SP 800-171 (03-16-03) to help protect federal information when nonfederal organizations are processing, storing, or transmitting such information. Check out the security controls and control enhancements that can be selected and implemented when using external system service providers. https://lnkd.in/eVRN9WnV #FISMA #OMBCircularA130 #NIST80053 #NIST800171 #ProtectCUI #SecurityControls #SecurityRequirements #SecurityAssessments #Assurance #FedRAMP #CloudServiceProviders #MSPs #MSSPs #CMMC #DIB

Ummmm.. have you been listening to us talking since President Obama signed executive order creating the NIST 171. Unless the government makes the requirement and enforces it with a compliance mechanism, like the CMMC or make C2M2 compliance prior to contractor Ward we are never going to get to the spot where we desire to be. We are being nothing more than reactive until we get to proactive. This is going to be a continual churn.

Public Service Announcement to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) CMMC Level 2 Third-Party Assessments Available Now! Attention Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors, In light of the newly released FAR 32 rule, contractors can now voluntarily undergo a CMMC Level 2 Third-Party Assessment by a Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO). While these assessments are not yet required, they will be mandatory in the near future as part of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework and compliance with DFARS 7012 for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Key Points: 1. The new FAR 32 rule allows contractors to request a CMMC Level 2 Third-Party Assessment from a C3PAO. 2. While CMMC Level 2 third-party assessments by a C3PAO are not currently enforced, they will be required, to be awarded contracts, in the near future. Getting certified now will prevent delays in securing contracts when these assessments become mandatory. 3. Early certification through a C3PAO will keep your organization competitive in the contracting process and prevent potential future losses due to non-compliance. Contractors are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the ability to get assessed now, so you’re fully prepared when third-party assessments become mandatory. Stay ahead of the curve - get certified now!
