We’ve written extensively about CMMC and NIST Special Publication 800-171, which cover the handling and protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). But what is CUI? How is it created, and why is it so important to protect?
Here, we’re digging into CUI and why it’s integral to significant cybersecurity frameworks in the federal marketplace.
International collaboration between countries in cybersecurity isn’t unheard of, but it involves several miles of red tape and regulations. That’s why many countries seek parity in their security frameworks.
One such parity that Canadian officials are seeking is between their own CP-CSC and the CMMC model for handling CUI.
In December 2023, the Department of Defense announced its new Proposed Rules for CMMC. This release comes two years after their initial proposal for CMMC 2.0 as a framework.
Many of CMMC’s expected requirements are coming to pass, and the DoD is looking to finalize and aggressively roll out the program over the next three years.
