Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is a category of sensitive information that, while not classified, still requires protection under federal regulations. The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework ensures that companies within the Defense Industrial Base properly handle CUI to protect national security interests.
This article delves into data classification, focusing on how businesses can ensure the proper handling of CUI.
As government agencies continue to rely on cloud services and secure data management, companies involved in these sectors must navigate complex regulatory landscapes. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) are two of the most critical frameworks in this space.
For companies pulling multiple responsibilities in government contracting—such as cloud service providers, cybersecurity firms, and systems integrators—understanding the equivalency between FedRAMP and CMMC is essential. This article explores the nuances of these frameworks, focusing on how businesses can effectively manage compliance when subject to both.
As businesses navigate the complexities of CMMC, the need for robust Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools becomes increasingly critical. These tools facilitate achieving compliance and ensure that organizations maintain a state of readiness, reducing the risk of cybersecurity breaches.
This article covers what it means to incorporate tools, solutions, or platforms to help decision-makers get on their CMMC journey.
