Leveraging NIST Assessments to Become NIST Compliant
If you are a defense or government supplier – or if you are a subcontractor selling to a government supplier – you need to know about the NIST 800-171 mandate, and take steps to perform a NIST assessment to become NIST compliant as of December 31, 2017. Depending on the federal contract under which you are working, Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) may apply as well.
