COMPLIANCE STANDARDS IN GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING
Navigating the Evolution of CUI Compliance: From NIST 800-171 to CMMC
In the ever-changing compliance landscape, it's easy to lose track of our starting point, current status, and the journey we've taken. The compliance story for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) began in 2015 with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publishing NIST 800-171. Since then, additional regulations like DFARS and CMMC have built on this original framework. Given the dynamic nature of compliance in government contracting, adopting a holistic approach is crucial. Understanding the foundation of current compliance standards requires a deep dive into NIST 800-171.
Who needs to follow NIST 800-171?
