CMMC Readiness Services Download

Jason McNew, Senior Engineer, Cybersecurity Risk & Compliance, has over 20 years of experience in the field of Information Technology, including 12 years at the White House Communications Agency (WHCA) and Camp David, where he worked on some of the most secure systems in the world, for some of the most important customers in the world.  While at WHCA, Jason held what is known as a “Yankee White” security clearance, also known as a PSD (Presidential Service Duty).  The Yankee White is an elite clearance granted only to those of unquestionable character and integrity.  

Jason specializes in NIST, CMMC, and DFARS compliance consulting services to defense contractors, and has helped numerous organizations meet these requirements.  As an active SME public speaker and contributor, he has his finger on the pulse of changing requirements and implementations. 

The National Institute of Standards and Technology 800-171B, the supplement to 800-171, was made obsolete by NIST 800-172 in July 2020.  In this extensive white paper, Jason takes an in-depth look at NIST 800-172 and how it differs from the previous version and its supplement.
