Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
The requirements that apply to your organization depend on the contracts you hold, the government agencies you work with, and the type of information you access or store. Organizations working with the US Department of Defense may need to meet CMMC and NIST SP 800 171 requirements, while Canadian organizations participating in certain federal defense contracts may be subject to the Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC).
-
NIST SP 800 171 defines security requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in nonfederal systems and organizations. CMMC builds on these requirements by establishing an assessment and certification program for organizations within the US Defense Industrial Base. For organizations handling CUI, CMMC Level 2 requirements align closely with NIST SP 800 171.
-
Organizations in the US Defense Industrial Base may need CMMC certification when it is required by their Department of Defense contract or subcontract. The required CMMC level depends largely on the type of federal information the organization handles and the requirements specified in the contract.
-
The Canadian Program for Cyber Security Certification (CPCSC) is Canada's cybersecurity certification program designed to protect sensitive government information within defense supply chains. It applies to organizations working on applicable Government of Canada defense contracts and is intended to establish cybersecurity requirements comparable to those being introduced for defense suppliers in allied countries.
-
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is information created or possessed by the US government, or information created on its behalf, that requires safeguarding even though it is not classified. Organizations that receive, process, store, or transmit CUI as part of US government contracts may be required to implement NIST SP 800 171 controls and meet applicable CMMC requirements.
