- Better Alignment for DOD contractors with Government Issued Compliance Requirements
NIST-800 is a cybersecurity compliance requirement for DOD contractors which is very involved.  CM and First Call worked out a project timeline in order to become compliant.
I am pleased with the project timeline as well as First Call taking the lead and moving this project to completion.  CM does not have the time nor the expertise to manage a project such as NIST-800.
In today’s cyber threat  world it is imperative that organizations implement a standard that mitigates the risk of cyber-attacks.  One has to be proactive to these threats as being reactive can create serious threats to the operational success of the organization.
