Course description

NIST SP 800-171 is a self-attestation standard with little to no audit risk created. This resulted in perpetual POAMS and little incentive for NFOs to fully implement all 110 requirements of NIST SP 800-171. To prevent the exfiltration of CUI from the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was created. It establishes compliance as a condition of doing business with DoD. Explore the benefits of NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC.
