Simplifying Compliance

First, let’s demystify some acronyms/definitions. As a contractor, you have to implement the recommended requirements to demonstrate adequate security to protect the data included in the contract. And even if your business is just part of the contract supply chain, NIST 800-171 compliance is expected.

DoD—Department of Defense provides services needed to deter war, and to protect the security of the United States.

FAR—Federal Acquisition Regulation is the primary regulation for use by all executive agencies in their acquisition of supplies and services with appropriated funds.

DFARS—Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement is an amendment to a set of rules that the Department of Defense (DoD) and similar agencies use to oversee the purchasing of goods and services, including technology.

CUI—Controlled Unclassified Information relates to federal agency—generated, used, stored, and shared information that, while not classified, requires protection from unauthorized access and release.

NIST SP 800-171—National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Special Publication that makes recommendations and sets requirements for protecting the confidentiality of controlled unclassified information (CUI)
