The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171 provides organizations with guides on how to store, share, and protect controlled unclassified information (CUI). To meet NIST 800-171 requirements, there are four areas where you should focus your efforts – access controls, activity monitoring and management, user behaviors, and data security measures. These are the areas where mistakes could open the door for a data breach.

ITAR, or the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, is a set of regulations drafted to ensure the protection of government defense data, including articles and services on the United States Munitions List (USML) and all related technical data. Only companies that have registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) are permitted to import and export defense data. Each year companies are required to renew their registration with DDTC and recommit to maintaining ITAR compliance.

Is your organization working to align with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Cybersecurity Framework? The objective of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is to identify “a prioritized, flexible, repeatable, performance-based, and cost-effective approach” to keeping data secure. This includes “information security measures and controls that may be voluntarily adopted by owners and operators of critical infrastructure to help them identify, assess, and manage cyber risks.” To put it simply, the NIST framework is a set of guidelines to help you protect sensitive government data.
