THE DEFINITIVE CYBERSECURITY GUIDEBOOK FOR NIST 800-171 COMPLIANCEThe real challenge with working with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) direction is it tells you "what" to do, but not "how" to do it. With over 20 years in secure hardware and software development, this book was written to help the business owner and his IT staff compete and maintain their contracts with the Department of Defense (DOD). This is a book written to walk you through the controls and provide you a clear, plain-English, description of how to answer the 110 security controls. We hope this makes this new shift to stronger cybersecurity for you and the DOD easier and understandable. (**SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR READERS: On June 2018, NIST issued NIST 800-171A. It added additional sub-controls to the original 110 security controls. The information in this book can still be used to answer the higher-level controls as needed. The author is committed to providing an update NLT 20 JUL 2018)
