Building a NIST 800-171/CMMC Compliant Research Environment

Today’s research grants are competitive and compliance driven. Building platforms compliant to NIST 800-171, 800-53, and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) are table stakes, but these environments are expensive and time consuming to manage. Growing a federal government research portfolio requires a collaborative effort from researchers and information technology groups alike. We'll cover the following: • Identify Challenges of Building a Compliant Research Environment • Considerations and Lessons Learned from Researcher and IT Perspectives • Successful Architectures and Technologies That Have Worked for R1 Universities Come learn how ePlus, Nutanix, and Tera Insights has helped R1 Universities build easy to manage, compliant architectures that are usable for PIs while meeting the stringent compliance standards of NIST and CMMC.
