Listen "Crisis Averted: DFARS 7012 Class Deviation"
Episode Synopsis
The obligation for defense contractors to implement NIST SP 800-171 revision 3 has been delayed indefinitely thanks to a recent “class deviation” published by the DoD. The 2023 CMMC proposed rule specified that it will assess SP 800-171 revision 2, but language in defense contracts would have triggered a crisis – until now. Nevertheless, SP 800-171 revision 3 will be the requirement, but contractors have some room to breathe.
