Securing federal data on nonfederal systems

July 3, 2015 By ei2admin

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued new guidance aimed at protecting federal data that’s stored on information systems outside the federal government.

NISTSpecial Publication 800-171, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations, applies to information systems and organizations outside of the federal government that process, store or transmit federal controlled unclassified information, or CUI.

CUI is any information that the federal government requires to be safeguarded by security and/or privacy controls, excluding information that is deemed classified, which is protected under a different set of regulations.

Mandatory privacy training rule for federal contractors expected soon

November 26, 2014 By ei2admin

A rule to require federal contactors handling personally identifiable information to train their employees in safeguarding the information is close to release. Under the anticipated rule, contractor employees will have to undergo either agency training when the agency chooses to make it available, or will have to provide their own privacy training programs using an agency-approved syllabus and materials.

The privacy training rule, originally proposed in 2011, would apply to civilian and defense agency contracts in which contractor employees would have access to a federal agency system of records, handle personally identifiable information, or design, develop, operate, or maintain a federal system of records on behalf of a federal agency.
