NIST 800 Compliance Process Overview
InData Consulting’s assessment identifies cybersecurity gaps and remediation steps. Once we have identified the gaps, we create a Plan of Action (POA) with steps we will take to resolve the non-compliant devices or rules. Depending on the current maturity of the security posture, the POA will list out all of the changes that need to take place.
What is a System Security Plan (SSP)? A System Security Plan (SSP) is a document meant to be updated as the company modifies systems that impacts security posture. Think of it as your corporate security blog, every major update or remediation needs to be recorded and reviewed. Information like company policies, network schematics, administration access, and security roles for employees and groups are important for a complete SSP.
The plan will describe each covered information system and a plan of action for each unimplemented security requirement. The plan will describe how and when the security requirement will be met. Depending on if you are dealing with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) or Classified Information you may be required to increase the number of controls you have in place. We leverage the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) for this scenario.
What is the Cybersecurity Maturing Model (CMMC)?
The CMMC is a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) program that applies to Defense Industrial Base (DIB) contractors. It is a standard and certification model to ensure that DoD contractors properly protect sensitive information.
How do you score a NIST Self-Assessment? If all security requirements are implemented, a contractor is awarded a score of 110, consistent with the total number of NIST SP 800-171 security requirements. For each security requirement not met, the associated value is subtracted from 110. The score of 110 is reduced by each requirement not implemented, which may result in a negative score. The final score is reported on the NIST Self-Assessment Report.
As you increase the level of CMMC based on the classification of the information you work with, each level of CMMC increases the complexity and rules around data protection. Let InData Consulting help you navigate the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800 Compliance process.
