ISO 27001
CYBERSECURITY
Computer security, cybersecurity, or information technology security regards the protection of computer systems and networks from information disclosure, theft of, or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
ISO 27001
CMMC
CYBER HYGIENE
ISO 27001 or Information Security Management is the international standard for cyber protection.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is the latest cybersecurity standard passed down from the DOD.
Cyber Hygiene focuses on the checks and balances of an organizations operating system.
ISO 27001 is an international standard for information management. ISO 27001 provides a model for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving an information security management system.
Risk Assessment
The “Information security risk assessment” requirements of section of ISO 27001 help to ensure the preparedness of the organization against potential cyber-security risk. Prior to the realization of an information security threat, organizations must have specific procedures in place for mitigating possible loss of confidentiality. This includes requirements that processes be in place to identify, analyze, evaluate and mitigate all information security risks.
Awareness
Important to cyber-security, ISO 27001 includes the requirement that all personnel under control of the organization must be aware of the information security policy, the contribution of each person to the effectiveness of the information security management system, and the benefits of improved information security performance. Training and education play an essential role in the awareness of employees and contractors alike.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
When an organization is ISO 27001 certified it is officially recognized for complying to the highest internationally recognized information security standard.
This certification demonstrates a world-class level of operations security across threat monitoring, breach mitigation, and sensitive data protection. Because of this exemplary reputation for risk management, partners and customers of ISO 27001 certified organizations have greater confidence in the security of their information assets.
CMMC
WHAT IS CMMC?
The CMMC is described as a "unified cybersecurity standard". The intent of CMMC is to build upon existing regulations, policy, and memoranda from the Department of Defense (DIB by adding a third-party verification component to cybersecurity protections.
WHY IS CMMC IMPORTANT?
DIB contractors hold and use sensitive government data to develop and deliver goods and services. CMMC helps ensure that they secure this information the same way that military departments and government agencies do.
The CMMC was created in response to growing concerns by Congress and within the Department of Defense (DoD) over the increased presence of cyber threats and intrusions aimed at the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and its supply chains. Due to the sharing of Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) throughout the supply chain, the attack surface of the DoD has been greatly expanded. Cybersecurity is now a fundamental aspect of DoD acquisition. The CMMC will be a major change in the DoD approach to cybersecurity for defense contractors. The DoD appears to be looking for better methods to verify that its requirements are actually being satisfactorily implemented.
