NIST SP 800-171 IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE SMALL-MEDIUM BUSINESS DoD Cybersecurity for the Windows-Based SMB

By Richard McInteer

For the small to medium Department of Defense contractor, the US Government has posed another challenge as they created DFARS 252.204-7008 and 252.204-7012. They are now requiring the companies to institute cybersecurity requirement to control the Government supplied "Controlled Unclassified Information" (CUI). However, the requirements for the small company are exactly the same as the requirements for the huge companies. The biggest part of the requirements can be found in NIST SP 800-171. This book goes through every requirement of the NIST SP 800-171, making suggestions of how to implement the standard with minimal cost. The implementation suggestions in this book assume that the company networks are Windows-based and so the suggestions utilize tools built into Windows whenever possible. Since the NIST requirements are government generated, many of them are confusing, this book saves many hours of research just to achieve an understanding of the requirements themselves. When that is coupled with clear and definitive suggestions that can be applied within a smaller organization, this work is invaluable. Using this book, a contractor can take this gigantic project of implementation and cut it down to a reasonable size.
