Compliance Standards We Support
NIST SP 800-171 NIST SP 800-171 outlines the requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). DoD contractors must adhere to this standard to ensure the security of sensitive defense information under DFARS clause 252.204-7012.
CMMC The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is an evolving compliance requirement for DoD contractors. It outlines different levels of security maturity based on the handling of Federal Contract Information (FCI) and CUI. CMMC compliance will be mandatory for DoD contracts starting in Q4 of 2024.
ITAR The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) control the export and handling of defense-related products and services. ITAR mandates that access to sensitive defense technologies is restricted to U.S. citizens or organizations authorized by the U.S. government.
HIPAA The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) governs the protection of sensitive health information. HIPAA requires organizations to secure electronically stored health data from unauthorized access.
PCI DSS The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to any organization that processes, stores, or transmits credit card information. It is intended to safeguard payment data and reduce fraud risk.
GLBA The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires financial institutions to explain their data-sharing practices and protect customer information. Compliance ensures that financial data is handled securely.
