This ebook explores how organizations handling defense-related data can achieve compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS requirements. It explains the importance of protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and outlines key controls, including multifactor authentication and access restrictions. The guide emphasizes that while many compliance requirements can be met through policy and configuration changes, certain controls—like MFA—require deeper technical implementation. It also details how organizations can secure both local and network access, prevent authentication bypass, and ensure consistent protection across systems. Ultimately, it frames compliance not just as a regulatory obligation but as a path to stronger cyber resilience.
