If you’re a firm that works with foreign governments, in addition to certifications like ISO 27001 that you will generally need to achieve, you will also have to have processes in place for handling foreign government information or FGI. It’s not enough that your internal network is classified and access controlled; you need specific handling processes and procedures for managing FGI separately from other confidential or classified data you may have.

Information and digital security frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, and ISO 27001 are not static documents. They provide a static framework for your business to comply with and achieve, but that framework is only valid for so long. Several different forces are in play to ensure that the stipulations and security measures outlined in these frameworks remain valid over time.

In the wide world of information security, there are many different frameworks, standards, and systems in use to help assume a secure stance against threats. Two commonly seen frameworks are SOC 2 and ISO 27001. How do these two stand in comparison to each other, and which one do you need for your business? Let’s discuss.

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security and protection. It’s roughly equivalent to similar infosec frameworks in the United States, like FedRAMP and CMMC, but the international development, maintenance, and scope of the ISO framework makes it much more commonly seen outside of US Government contracting. In the US, it’s clear that a security framework mandated by the government is required when working as a contractor for the government. What about ISO 27001?

If you’ve spent any length of time reading about the internationally accepted security framework laid out in ISO 27001, you’ve likely come across the term ISMS or Information Security Management System. You may wonder, though; what is the ISMS specifically, how do you set one up, and what does it do for your business? Let’s talk about it.

One of the biggest burdens on any government agency or contractor is dealing with controlled unclassified information, or CUI. This information requires oversight, security, access control, and record-keeping – all part of the general “control” of that information – and keeping track of it all can be a huge task. One way in which this task is made easier is through the process of decontrol.

We’ve talked a lot on this blog about protecting controlled unclassified information, and we’ve mentioned in places some other kinds of information, like classified and secret information, covered defense information, and other protected information. There’s one thing all of this information has in common: it’s generated by the United States government.

We’ve written a lot about various security frameworks, from CMMC to ISO 27001, and throughout all of them, one of the core elements is the need to protect CUI. Information that is controlled at a very high – SECRET, Classified, or other – level is tightly bound by specific rules and can only be handled by select individuals. Completely base, public information is freely available and completely uncontrolled. But there’s a lot of information somewhere in the middle.

As the strongest and most well-recognized security certification around the world, ISO 27001 is a very popular – and very stringent – framework to adhere to. If you’re a business operating anywhere in the world, and you want to achieve security levels that build confidence and open doors with customers and clients who value trust, ISO 27001 is a great option.

When you consider national and global cybersecurity, a handful of names stand out. Two of the largest are NIST and ISO/IEC. Both of these organizations have issued plenty of rulings and frameworks for securing digital systems, and in a sense, they can be viewed as competitors. So, what’s the difference, where is the overlap, and which option is right for your business?

In this video, you'll learn about CMMC 2.0 Level 1 and Level 2 Assessments, and more specifically about.

When CMMC was first introduced by the DoD, its purpose was to “normalize and standardized cybersecurity preparedness across the federal government’s Defense Industrial Base or DIB.” Essentially, they recognized a weakness in cybersecurity hygiene practices in their supply chain, and so CMMC became the standard the DIB would be “graded” by to ensure the protection of sensitive or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The improved CMMC 2.0 introduced multiple changes to the audit assurance process. What are those changes and what steps should you take to ensure the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)?
