The Department of Defense (DoD) requires compliance with NIST 80-171 for their acquisition process. The DoD exercises primary control over the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and makes controlling unclassified information confidential. If doing work with GSA, NASA or other government agencies, compliance with NIST is crucial.

Digital Forge Help You Create and

Implement A Plan for
NIST Compliance

As your Manufacturing Extension Partner, we’re here to help you create and implement a plan for NIST compliance.  Whatever the federal or state contracts you are pursuing, we can get you to the right level of compliance.  As of Dec 31, 2017 it is also required to meet the DFARS cybersecurity clause 252,204-7012.

Step 1
  • The first step we’ll take with you is identifying the gaps in your existing system that prevent you from being DFARS compliant. What have you already implemented? What do you need to implement?

Step 2
  • Once we know your posture, we can work to tie in the missing pieces. At Digital Forge, we’ll then continue with prioritizing the elements you need to implement, assuring highest efficiencies in the process so you get the most for your money on the journey to compliance.

Step 3
  • All along the way, we’re going to take the opportunities to assess and reevaluate your means of compliance. This is an important step because some security features can utilize alternate software and still meet compliance. We’ll help you identify which does and doesn’t as well as file the appropriate requests to get approval to use an alternate.

For every regulation to maintain compliance, there may be multiple ways of accomplishing it.  That’s why we’re here to help you evaluate, identify and implement the necessary elements to your NIST compliance programs without spending extra.
