Overview
Please note that this course is a half-day. For specific times and details, refer to the schedule provided.

This course is specifically designed for IT professionals working with, or aspiring to work with, U.S. government contractors. It provides an in-depth exploration of the NIST SP 800-171 standard, which outlines the requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems and organizations.

Participants will thoroughly examine each requirement of the NIST SP 800-171 guidelines, gaining a clear understanding of its significance, impact, and real-world application. The course will offer valuable insights into how compliance with these standards influences your daily work, your organization's operations, and the fulfillment of contractual obligations in federal contracts.

Whether you are a cybersecurity professional looking to deepen your expertise, an IT manager responsible for ensuring compliance, or a technical lead tasked with implementing security measures, this course will equip you with the essential knowledge to navigate the complexities of NIST SP 800-171.

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand NIST SP 800-171: Grasp the purpose and importance of NIST SP 800-171 within the federal contracting framework.
  • Interpret Requirements: Explore each requirement in detail, including its intent, applicability, and potential implementation methods.
  • Implement Compliance Measures: Gain practical knowledge to apply NIST SP 800-171 regulations effectively within your IT environment.
  • Develop Policies & Procedures: Learn to create comprehensive policies and procedures that align with NIST SP 800-171 guidelines.
  • Manage Risk: Understand risk management principles related to CUI and develop strategies for mitigating identified risks.
  • Prepare for Audits: Learn how to prepare for audits, including what auditors seek when assessing compliance and how to document your adherence to the standard.
  • Stay Updated: Keep up-to-date with any changes or updates to the NIST SP 800-171 standard and understand how these could impact your organization’s practices.
This course offers more than theoretical knowledge; it provides actionable strategies that participants can immediately apply within their organizations to achieve and maintain regulatory compliance effectively.
