3 What is NIST? NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was founded in 1901, and is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. Congress established the agency to remove a major challenge to U.S. industrial competitiveness at the time a second-rate measurement infrastructure that lagged behind the capabilities of the United Kingdom, Germany, and other economic rivals. The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) promotes the U.S. economy and public welfare by providing technical leadership for the nation s measurement and standards infrastructure. NIST Defined

4 What is NIST SP ? NIST Special Publication (originally created in June 2015 and updated in December 2016) specifically covers the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The requirements recommended for use in this publication are derived from FIPS Publication 200 and the moderate security control baseline in NIST Special Publication NIST Special Publication covers security controls for US federal information systems except those related to national security. The requirements and security controls have been determined over time to provide the necessary protection for federal information and systems which are covered under FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014). NIST SP r1

5 What is CUI? Controlled Unclassified Information, CUI is defined as information created by the government, or an entity on behalf of the government, that is unclassified, but needs safeguarding. CUI is information that is sensitive and relevant to the interests of the United States and potentially its National Security, but not strictly regulated by the Federal government. Unclassified Information which is stored on Covered Contractor Information Systems. Controlled Unclassified Information

6 Examples of CUI Electronic files Blueprints, drawings Proprietary company/contractor information Physical records (printouts) Controlled Unclassified Information

8 Do I Need to Comply? Entities that deal with government controlled unclassified information must comply. Typical entities with this kind of information include universities, research institutions, consulting companies, service providers, and manufacturers. Many manufacturing companies are either prime contractors or sub for prime contractors for various government contracts. These entities will almost always have CUI on premise or in cloud/provider based systems and applications. Manufacturers must be compliant with NIST by December 31, Is Compliance Mandatory?

9 Have I Been Notified? If you are a manufacturer, you may get notified by a prime contractor or subcontractor stating that you need to comply with NIST by December 31 st of Notification can come directly (mail or ) or can come as a notification within a portal. You may not get notified at all. Is Compliance Mandatory?

12 Defining the NIST Requirement Four types of data management requirements: 1. Controls Data management controls and processes 2. Monitoring/Management Real time monitoring/management of defined IT systems 3. End User Practices Documented, well defined end-user practices and procedures 4. Security Measures Implementation of defined security measures NIST Requirements

13 NIST Requirement: Controls Controls Requirements Assess and develop appropriate security controls Development of Formal Policies and Procedures Creation and maintenance of audit records regarding access to CUI Secure transmission of data including encryption Encryption of data at rest NIST Requirements: Controls

14 NIST Requirement: Monitoring/Management Monitoring/Management Requirements Monitor and manage user access to information systems Authenticate users and utilize multi-factor authentication Establish an operational incident management process Patch critical systems and scan for vulnerabilities Deploy anti-virus/malware solutions and monitor activity Monitor network traffic for malicious activity NIST Requirements: Monitoring/Management

15 NIST Requirement: End User Practices End User Practices Requirements Training and awareness of end users and system administrators on proper procedures for handling CUI Management must define and execute minimum password complexity compliance NIST Requirements: End User Practices

16 NIST Requirement: Security Measures Security Measures Requirements Assess and develop appropriate security controls Secure backup of CUI Create and enforce policies to prevent unauthorized software Identify, track, and restrict access to network/application ports (firewall/systems) NIST Requirements: Security Measures

19 How Can I Determine Compliance? The easiest route to determining your compliance status is an assessment by an outside 3 rd party. The assessment should consist of three phases: 1. information gathering 2. data analysis 3. preparation of findings for presentation to management From this assessment, you will have a specific roadmap to follow in order to achieve compliance.

21 What Does a NIST Assessment Project Look Like? Several stages involved: Business process review Technical assessment (systems and network) Data analysis Post assessment: plan for ongoing validation on a regular basis What Can You Expect
