If you’re a DoD contractor, you’ve probably felt the pain of juggling multiple cybersecurity frameworks. Between CMMC requirements and NIST 800-53 compliance, you’re doing the same work. Automating these frameworks can help you work smarter, not harder, while maintaining a strong security program.

For organizations serving both government and commercial customers, being able to connect the dots between CMMC and NIST 800-53 controls isn’t just a nice-to-have feature. It’s becoming essential for staying competitive and keeping compliance costs under control.

StateRAMP, Subnetworks, and Boundary Security

Feb 9, 2023 Continuum GRC 0 Comment

StateRAMP guidelines include network security standards from NIST 800-53, with specific requirements for implementing those guidelines based on the application and data processing. Implementing boundary controls is one of the more relevant and sometimes challenging aspects of compliance network security. Here, we will dig into how StateRAMP (and FedRAMP, to some extent) approach subnetworks and boundary security.

StateRAMP and Incident Response: What You Need to Know
