How Businesses Can Assess Data Security and Manage Risks Systematically
Government contractors and businesses alike are targets for cyber-attacks. The threat landscape is always evolving and businesses must protect themselves and their clients. To address this, the Department of Defense (DoD) has developed guidelines for how important information residing on non-DoD information systems should be protected.
Effective November 30, 2020, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Interim Rule will impact how government contractors are required to protect Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) moving forward. It also specifies new requirements on how self-assessments must be reported.
This webinar will provide insights into how businesses should address these requirements and will discuss key standards such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and NIST SP 800-171, answering such questions as:
- What are the benefits of the CMMC?
- What types of businesses do the DoD cybersecurity requirements impact?
- How can I self-assess my business's cybersecurity maturity and develop a plan of action for risk mitigation?
- The CMMC is coming. Do I now disregard NIST SP 800-171?
