GSA’s New CUI Rules NIST r3 vs CMMC r2

from CMMC Academy · host Armada Cyber Defense LLC

 GSA recently updated its cybersecurity requirements for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). While similar in concept to DoD’s CMMC program, GSA’s approach is based on NIST SP 800-171 Revision 3, while CMMC currently relies on Revision 2. This difference could force contractors that work with both agencies to meet two separate cybersecurity standards. Industry experts warn that this may create a fragmented compliance environment across federal agencies and increase costs until a government-wide CUI rule is finalized. Thank you for visiting our podcasts on CMMC Cybersecurity!
