DAU: CMMC Level 2 - Where to begin with NIST SP 800-171

The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012 requires contractors who are provided or generate Controlled Unclassified Information for the DoD to implement the cybersecurity standard NIST SP 800-171.  The DoD IG has several reports about how this implementation is going. 

Let’s talk about NIST SP 800-171.  Let’s learn when it applies, how it fits with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and questions the contracting team can ask to know if contract cybersecurity is on-track and protecting DoD data.
