Important Notice to DLA Suppliers Regarding NIST 800-171 Assessments
An important notice to DLA Suppliers regarding NIST 800-171 Assessments regarding Controlled Unclassified Information and Controlled Technical Information.
In recent years, the call for stringent information security standards for organizations that handle sensitive data has only grown louder. Cyberattacks are now commonplace and are likely to only get worse as technology, and the mechanisms behind it, continue to evolve and change at a rapid pace. If an entity is not prepared for these possibilities, then the results can be catastrophic - a recognized data breach can cause massive damage to a company's reputation, evaporate trust among clients, cost the business jobs or opportunities, and financial loss through theft.
As the potential threat from these cyberattacks continues to grow, increased legislation and requirements to specific cybersecurity standards has become more widespread. Two such information security standards are NIST 800-171 and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The NIST 800-171 and CMMC compliance standards provide excellent guidance to organizations as they begin putting protocols and cybersecurity management best practices in place, ensuring that the company is protecting itself as best it can.
The Smithers Quality Assessment Division is committed to providing expertise, support, and cyber security auditing certification services for both NIST 800-171 and the Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification.
