CMMC Model Certification
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Acquisition is creating the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) – a new cybersecurity standard.
This standard is anticipated to be implemented in mid-2020 and the Dashboard team is working to roll-out the new CMMC view very soon.
For more information on the CMMC, visit our FAQ.
NIST SP 800-171r1
This publication has been developed by NIST to further its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) of 2014, 44 U.S.C. § 3551 et seq., Public Law (P.L.) 113-283. NIST is responsible for developing information security standards and guidelines, including minimum requirements for federal information systems, but such standards and guidelines shall not apply to national security systems without the express approval of appropriate federal officials exercising policy authority over such systems. This guideline is consistent with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A130.
This publication provides federal agencies with a set of recommended security requirements for protecting the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) when such information is resident in nonfederal systems and organizations; when the nonfederal organization is not collecting or maintaining information on behalf of a federal agency or using or operating a system on behalf of an agency; and where there are no specific safeguarding requirements for protecting the confidentiality of CUI prescribed by the authorizing law, regulation, or governmentwide policy for the CUI category or subcategory listed in the CUI Registry. The security requirements apply to all components of nonfederal systems and organizations that process, store, or transmit CUI, or that provide security protection for such components. The requirements are intended for use by federal agencies in contractual vehicles or other agreements established between those agencies and nonfederal organizations.
NIST SP 800-53
NIST SP 800-53 is a publication that was developed by NIST to further its statutory responsibilities under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Public Law (P.L.) 107-347. NIST is responsible for developing information security standards and guidelines, including minimum requirements for federal information systems, but such standards and guidelines shall not apply to national security systems without the express approval of appropriate federal officials exercising policy authority over such systems.
It provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations and a process for selecting controls to protect organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, and reputation), organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation from a diverse set of threats including hostile cyber attacks, natural disasters, structural failures, and human errors.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework was created through collaboration between government and the private sector. It uses a common language to address and manage cybersecurity risk in a cost-effective way based on business needs without placing additional regulatory requirements on businesses. The Framework focuses on using business drivers to guide cybersecurity activities and considering cybersecurity risks as part of the organization’s risk management processes. The Framework consists of three parts: the Framework Core, the Framework Profile, and the Framework Implementation Tiers. Each Framework component reinforces the connection between business drivers and 188 cybersecurity activities.
NIST CSF Manufacturing Profile
The Dashboard provides support for the NIST Manufacturing Profile, a part of the Cybersecurity Framework. The Manufacturing Profile can be used as a roadmap for reducing cybersecurity risk for manufacturers — aligning with manufacturing sector goals and industry best practices. It provides a voluntary, risk-based approach for managing cybersecurity activities and reducing cyber risk to manufacturing systems. The Manufacturing Profile is meant to enhance but not replace current cybersecurity standards and industry guidelines that the manufacturer is embracing.
