Comply with NIST Cybersecurity Framework

Improve cybersecurity for critical infrastructure

What is the DFARS/NIST Program? 

The DFARS/NIST Program refers to the compliance requirements set forth by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171. These requirements are aimed at protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems and organizations, particularly those involved in contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a voluntary set of guidelines for managing and reducing cybersecurity risk. Organizations across many industries and countries are now using the Framework as a basis for risk management discussions and decision-making.
