Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries by enabling more efficient processes, better decision-making, and innovative solutions to complex problems. However, the rapid adoption of AI technologies brings significant risks, including biases, security vulnerabilities, and ethical concerns. To address these challenges, various organizations have developed AI Risk Management Frameworks (RMFs) to help ensure the responsible and secure deployment of AI systems. Among these frameworks, the NIST AI RMF stands out. In this post, we will compare the NIST AI RMF with other prominent AI risk management frameworks to understand their similarities, differences, and unique contributions to AI governance.

by RSI Security February 10, 2025August 27, 2025

written by RSI Security

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), is designed to protect sensitive data across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). As cyber threats evolve, the methods used to evaluate compliance must also adapt.

Today, CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organizations (C3PAOs) are leveraging new CMMC assessment tools and techniques to make audits more accurate, efficient, and reliable. These innovations not only strengthen the certification process but also help contractors improve their overall cybersecurity posture.

This article explores the latest advancements in CMMC assessment tools and the techniques used by C3PAOs that are shaping the future of compliance within the defense sector.

Service organizations seek out SOC reports to prove to current and future clients that any data trusted with the service organization is safe. SOC 2 reports, in particular, provide insights into a company’s security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy—the five Trust Services Criteria (TSC) prioritized by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

The Economic Impact of CMMC Compliance on Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

by RSI Security February 5, 2025August 27, 2025

written by RSI Security

CMMC compliance is a critical requirement for any organization working within the U.S. defense supply chain. Developed by the Department of Defense (DoD), the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) ensures that contractors properly protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) with strong cybersecurity measures.

For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), achieving CMMC compliance can feel both like an investment and a challenge. The process involves costs, resource allocation, and operational changes. However, compliance also delivers long-term benefits such as access to more DoD contracts, stronger data security, and a valuable competitive edge.

This article explores the economic impact of CMMC compliance on SMBs—highlighting both the financial challenges and the opportunities it creates for growth, stability, and resilience in the defense sector.

CMMC

Who Needs a Level 2 CMMC Assessment?

by RSI Security January 31, 2025August 27, 2025

written by RSI Security

In today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape, the Department of Defense (DoD) created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to safeguard sensitive data within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). This includes both Federal Contract Information (FCI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

With the rollout of CMMC 2.0, many contractors must now determine whether they need a Level 2 CMMC Assessment. Understanding the requirements for Level 2 is critical for maintaining compliance, protecting sensitive information, and securing eligibility for future DoD contracts.

EI3PA

10 Benefits of Being EI3PA Compliant

by RSI Security January 30, 2025April 10, 2025

written by RSI Security

Last year, 56% of organizations were hit by a breach caused by one of their third party vendors. Let that sink in for a moment.

56%.

What has been the cause for the uptick in third party breaches lately? Supply chain attacks. These coordinated, front-line network assaults can be difficult for businesses to tackle internally. When you’re also working with third-party vendors that are utilizing your network, maintaining a high security posture during operating hours (which for some may end up being 24/7) can be near impossible. Unless these third-party vendors operate entirely under the same roof or network as your business, you won’t have the same level of control over credit-based compliance efforts as you would with your own internal operations. This lack of consistent control over credit-based compliance can leave your company in a tailspin after being hit by a devastating supply chain attack.
