This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **This is an updated version incorporating the major changes released by the DOD January 31, 2020**Changes include: 1) The latest FAQs and expectations for 2020 and beyond CMMC implementation efforts, 2) alignment of security controls with the most recent CMMC version 1.0 release, and 3) addition of sample control write-ups for inclusion in company Systems Security Plans and Cybersecurity policies.This manual is created to help the small and big business owner in meeting the newest in cybersecurity contracting requirements to conduct business with the Department of Defense (DOD). The CMMC is a wide-ranging certification process with security controls most aligned with federal National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity guidance. The gravest weakness of these security controls is that the tell you what to do, but not how to do them. That is the purpose of this book. It provides the how-to best approach and answer the security control or at least where to proceed for how to fully implement the stated cybersecurity measure. The requirement to protect information and data is not just limited to the financial services, insurance, and health care sectors. It is difficult to identify a federal or industrial sector that escapes some responsibility to protect its electronic data. Indeed, some areas deal with more sensitive information, so it is not a surprise that the DOD recently took steps to have its contractors provide "adequate security" for "Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). CMMC is in its early throes of its roll out. This is a first edition where the author's over 20 years in cybersecurity controls and security engineering is intended to help. Don't expect DOD to be ready for a while. This book will help you and your IT staff start the challenge of CMMC.

Download or read book A Reference Manual for Data Privacy Laws and Cyber Frameworks written by Ravindra Das and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world is becoming more digital and entwined together, the cybersecurity threat landscape has no doubt become a daunting one. For example, typical threat variants of the past, especially those of phishing, have now become much more sophisticated and covert in nature. A lot of this has been brought on by the proliferation of ransomware, which exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, there is another concern that is looming on the horizon: data privacy. Now, more than ever, consumers on a global basis want to know exactly what is happening to their personal identifiable information (PII) datasets. Examples of what they want to know about include the following: What kinds and types of information and data are being collected about them How those PII datasets are being stored, processed, and transacted with How their PII datasets are being used by third-party suppliers In response to these concerns and fears, as well as the cyber risks posed by these datasets, many nations around the world have set up rather extensive and very detailed data privacy laws. In their respective tenets and provisions, these pieces of legislation not only specify why and how businesses need to comply with them, but also outline the rights that are afforded to each and every consumer. In this book, we detail the tenets and provisions of three key data privacy laws: The GDPR The CCPA The CMMC We also provide a general framework at the end on how a business can comply with these various data privacy laws. The book begins with an in-depth overview of the importance of data and datasets, and how they are so relevant to the data privacy laws just mentioned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IF YOU ARE WRITING AN ACCREDITATION PACKAGE FOR NIST 800-171 OR CMMC, THIS BOOK IS DESIGNED FOR THE COMPANY LEADERSHIP AND ITS IT STAFF TO BE SUCCESSFUL...IT WILL SAVE YOU TIME AND HEADACHES...THIS IS A HOW-TO NOT A "50,000 FOOT VIEW" BOOK!Introducing the Security Authorization Development Package Model (SADP-M). I hope this helps all of you to create a fully auditable and complete package under the base NIST 800-171 and the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) process emerging from the Department of Defense (DOD). I have added CMMC control traceability for Levels 1 through 3 in this version. This model introduces the Global Cybersecurity Policy (G-CSP). It forms the starting-point for required accreditation documentation under NIST 800-171--with applicability to CMMC. This is a defined process to help create auditable packages for accreditation. The assigned IT professional or ISSO will subsequently populate and provide answers for the auditor in the G-CSP. After this work is completed, the ISSO will begin to "strip out" the other documents to include the SSP, CSP, POAM, etc. One of the most common requests I receive from my readers is help in creating an effective Cybersecurity Policy (CSP). I initially was focused on the two major technical parts of the NIST 800-171 accreditation package, the System Security Plan (SSP) and Plans of Action and Milestones (POAM). I consider the CSP more a Human Resources effort that focuses on the people side of the People-Process-Technology Triad, but no less critical. Fortunately, I have recently been able to dedicate the time to develop what I describe as an onion approach to create a CSP. I describe a GLOBAL CSP as a base document that the cybersecurity professional can strip-out the SSP, the final CSP, as well as several other vital cybersecurity documents needed to manage any IT system.

This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU IN CYBER-COMPLIANCE FOR THE DOD? UNDERSTAND THE PENDING CHANGES OF CYBERSECURITY MATURITY MODEL CERTIFICATION (CMMC).In 2019, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced the development of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The CMMC is a framework not unlike NIST 800-171; it is in reality a duplicate effort to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171 with ONE significant difference. CMMC is nothing more than an evolution of NIST 800-171 with elements from NIST 800-53 and ISO 27001, respectively. The change is only the addition of third-party auditing by cybersecurity assessors. Even though the DOD describes NIST SP 800-171 as different from CMMC and that it will implement "multiple levels of cybersecurity," it is in fact a duplication of the NIST 800-171 framework (or other selected mainstream cybersecurity frameworks). Furthermore, in addition to assessing the maturity of a company's implementation of cybersecurity controls, the CMMC is also supposed to assess the company's maturity/institutionalization of cybersecurity practices and processes. The security controls and methodologies will be the same--the DOD still has no idea of this apparent duplication because of its own shortfalls in cybersecurity protection measures over the past few decades. (This is unfortunately a reflection of the lack of understanding by senior leadership throughout the federal government.) This manual describes the methods and means to "self-assess," using NIST 800-171. However, it will soon eliminate self-certification where the CMMC is planned to replace self-certification in 2020. NIST 800-171 includes 110 explicit security controls extracted from NIST's core cybersecurity document, NIST 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations. These are critical controls approved by the DOD and are considered vital to sensitive and CUI information protections. Further, this is a pared-down set of controls to meet that requirement based on over a several hundred potential controls offered from NIST 800-53 revision 4. This manual is intended to focus business owners, and their IT support staff to meet the minimum and more complete suggested answers to each of these 110 controls. The relevance and importance of NIST 800-171 remains vital to the cybersecurity protections of the entirety of DOD and the nation.

Download or read book Creating an Information Security Program from Scratch written by Walter Williams and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for the first security hire in an organization, either an individual moving into this role from within the organization or hired into the role. More and more, organizations are realizing that information security requires a dedicated team with leadership distinct from information technology, and often the people who are placed into those positions have no idea where to start or how to prioritize. There are many issues competing for their attention, standards that say do this or do that, laws, regulations, customer demands, and no guidance on what is actually effective. This book offers guidance on approaches that work for how you prioritize and build a comprehensive information security program that protects your organization. While most books targeted at information security professionals explore specific subjects with deep expertise, this book explores the depth and breadth of the field. Instead of exploring a technology such as cloud security or a technique such as risk analysis, this book places those into the larger context of how to meet an organization's needs, how to prioritize, and what success looks like. Guides to the maturation of practice are offered, along with pointers for each topic on where to go for an in-depth exploration of each topic. Unlike more typical books on information security that advocate a single perspective, this book explores competing perspectives with an eye to providing the pros and cons of the different approaches and the implications of choices on implementation and on maturity, as often a choice on an approach needs to change as an organization grows and matures.

This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NIST SP 800-171A Rev 2 - DRAFT Released 24 June 2019 The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) resident in nonfederal systems and organizations is of paramount importance to federal agencies and can directly impact the ability of the federal government to successfully conduct its essential missions and functions. This publication provides agencies with recommended security requirements for protecting the confidentiality of CUI when the information is resident in nonfederal systems and organizations; when the nonfederal organization is not collecting or maintaining information on behalf of a federal agency or using or operating a system on behalf of an agency; and where there are no specific safeguarding requirements for protecting the confidentiality of CUI prescribed by the authorizing law, regulation, or governmentwide policy for the CUI category listed in the CUI Registry. The requirements apply to all components of nonfederal systems and organizations that process, store, or transmit CUI, or that provide security protection for such components. The requirements are intended for use by federal agencies in contractual vehicles or other agreements established between those agencies and nonfederal organizations.
