To help limit compliance costs and support local adoption of stringent cybersecurity measures, the StateRAMP organization has announced that it is moving forward with a plan to map the Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) framework into StateRAMP.
What does this mean for CSPs at the state level? So far, we don’t know much, but it could have big implications for agencies covering local and state law enforcement.
Unified compliance management has become a critical focus of modern security because it helps organizations adhere to multiple industry standards and regulations–a situation that is more common than one might think. For business and technology decision-makers, understanding the intricacies of compliance is crucial to keep their organizations compliant, agile, and within budget.
We will discuss key certifications such as GDPR, CMMC, FedRAMP, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS and examine how specialized partners can streamline compliance efforts, reduce costs, and enhance overall security.
CMMC is already a comprehensive framework that the DoD uses to secure its digital supply chain. The maturity model includes three levels corresponding to the increasingly deep incorporation of NIST controls targeting the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), specifically from Special Publications 800-171 and 800-172.
Organizations meeting CMMC requirements, therefore, meet the standards required to provide IT services to defense agencies. However, businesses that work with the DoD most likely work with other companies in other industries–thus necessitating that they meet different requirements in other frameworks.
It’s critical then that these organizations can map their security controls and policies across multiple regulations and frameworks. Fortunately, CMMC can serve as a solid foundation for these efforts.
