Time is Ticking to Reach NIST 800-171 Compliance

Security Vitals’ 7 Steps Webinar Helps Complete Companies’ Checklists

Security Vitals will host a free educational webinar to take viewers through a 7-step process on how to achieve NIST 800-171 Compliance by the fast-approaching Dec. 31, 2017 deadline. Rob Cote, CEO of Security Vitals, will present these steps on two dates: July 25 and Aug. 22 at 10 a.m. EST.

Companies are well under the 6-month warning until they must reach the government-enforced NIST 800-171 compliance deadline. There are several action steps that need to be taken to achieve compliance, and waiting until the last minute is not an option.

Because NIST 800-171 demands specialized resources to implement, manage, and maintain, addressing NIST requirements can put a real strain on manufacturing organizations.  With the added risk of lost contracts for non-compliance, organizations need an effective, timely solution. At no cost to viewers, this webinar provides essential information to ensure companies meet these regulations.
