Book Description
A WELL-WRITTEN POAM IS KEY TO SUCCESS IN ANSWERING NIST 800-171 REQUIREMENTSThis is an ongoing series of supplements we are issuing regarding the changes in federal cybersecurity contracting requirements. It is designed to align with our groundbreaking cybersecurity book: Understanding Your Responsibilities in Meeting DOD NIST 800-171. Our desire is to provide complete how-to guidance and instruction to effectively and quickly address your businesses' need to secure your Information Technology (IT) environments to effectively compete in the federal contract space. This is designed to be a template, but much like "Understanding," is designed to capture critical elements of cybersecurity best practices and information that you can implement immediately. A POAM provides a disciplined and structured method to reduce, manage, mitigate, and ultimately, address an active POAM finding/vulnerability. POAM's provide findings, recommendations, and actions that will correct the deficiency or vulnerability; it is not just identifying the risk or threat but having a "plan" that reduces the danger to subjective determination, by the System Owner (business) that the control is met. A POAM is a Living-Document; you cannot just do it once and put it "on a shelf." Active Management of Security Controls is intended to protect your vital and sensitive data from loss, compromise or destruction. "Making the cryptic more comfortable(TM)."

Book Description
ARE YOU IN CYBER-COMPLIANCE FOR THE DOD? UNDERSTAND THE PENDING CHANGES OF CYBERSECURITY MATURITY MODEL CERTIFICATION (CMMC).In 2019, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced the development of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). The CMMC is a framework not unlike NIST 800-171; it is in reality a duplicate effort to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-171 with ONE significant difference. CMMC is nothing more than an evolution of NIST 800-171 with elements from NIST 800-53 and ISO 27001, respectively. The change is only the addition of third-party auditing by cybersecurity assessors. Even though the DOD describes NIST SP 800-171 as different from CMMC and that it will implement "multiple levels of cybersecurity," it is in fact a duplication of the NIST 800-171 framework (or other selected mainstream cybersecurity frameworks). Furthermore, in addition to assessing the maturity of a company's implementation of cybersecurity controls, the CMMC is also supposed to assess the company's maturity/institutionalization of cybersecurity practices and processes. The security controls and methodologies will be the same--the DOD still has no idea of this apparent duplication because of its own shortfalls in cybersecurity protection measures over the past few decades. (This is unfortunately a reflection of the lack of understanding by senior leadership throughout the federal government.) This manual describes the methods and means to "self-assess," using NIST 800-171. However, it will soon eliminate self-certification where the CMMC is planned to replace self-certification in 2020. NIST 800-171 includes 110 explicit security controls extracted from NIST's core cybersecurity document, NIST 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations. These are critical controls approved by the DOD and are considered vital to sensitive and CUI information protections. Further, this is a pared-down set of controls to meet that requirement based on over a several hundred potential controls offered from NIST 800-53 revision 4. This manual is intended to focus business owners, and their IT support staff to meet the minimum and more complete suggested answers to each of these 110 controls. The relevance and importance of NIST 800-171 remains vital to the cybersecurity protections of the entirety of DOD and the nation.

Book Description
SOME MAJOR CHANGES TO NIST 800-171 ALL IN THIS BOOKIn June 2018, the NIST issued NIST 800-171A, "Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information." It increased the challenges and some-what the complexities of current federal, and especially for the Department of Defense (DOD) efforts, to better secure the national cybersecurity environment. It added another 298 sub-controls (SUB CTRL) that may also be described as a Control Correlation Identifier (CCI). They provide a standard identifier and description for each of a singular and actionable statement that comprises a general cybersecurity control. These sub-controls provide added detail and granularity that bridge the gap between high-level policy expressions and low-level implementations. The ability to trace security requirements from their original "high-level" control to its low-level implementation allows organizations to demonstrate compliance. The impacts of this update are currently unknown and will likely be implemented at the direction of the federal agency and contract office whether these additional sub-controls are answered in part or in total as part of a company's self-assessment responses to this change to NIST 800-171.No matter how any federal agency interprets and executes NIST 800-171 with with 171AA contractually, the information in THIS book is a significant supplement to the NIST 800-171 evolution. The information provides the reader with the latest information to answer the control requirements with needed specificity to meet the goal of a compliant and secure NIST 800-171 Information Technology (IT) environment.

Relieving Pain in America
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 030921484X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.
