The recent DFARS rule update from the U.S. Department of Defense has a major emphasis on NIST 800-171. Defense contractors will need to provide a NIST 800-171 self-assessment and upload it to the SPRS site in order to be eligible for future contracts or to execute options on existing contracts.<\/p>\n

The NIST 800-171 Q&A website provides answers to many questions related to 171<\/a>, including general questions as well as questions related to specific topics such as NIST 171 vs. CMMC, CUI, SPRS, small business, and scoring and assessments. As of December 15<\/span>, more than 100 questions are answered on the Q&A site. Much of the information posted on the site comes from the Defense Contract Management Agency, which covers the application of cybersecurity contract requirements and policies supporting NIST 800-171 audits. <\/p>\n

The CMMC Academy also facilitated two webinars to provide information related to the updated NIST 800-171 guidelines: <\/p>\n
