Cybersecurity and NIST SP 800-171 Compliance

In response to cybersecurity concerns, the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) states that companies doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD) have a requirement to comply with NIST SP 800-171. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations is explicitly designed to protect unclassified information outside the government.

Meeting this directive is not optional; it is a requirement that companies must satisfy in order to maintain existing contracts and to obtain new contracts for DoD projects. Hawk Technologies is currently compliant to the NIST SP 800-171 requirement.
