Community Objectives and Supporting Resources
Build a Community
The Regulated Research Community of Practice (RRCoP) builds a network of people able to help each other in implementing an affordable but effective cybersecurity and compliance program at academic institutions.
Resources: Participation, HigherEdCUI Slack, Regulated Workshop Series, and Subscribe, Regulated Research Benchmark Study, Collaborating Communities
Collect and Share Resources
Establish a leadership training and development program accelerating availability of distributed university resources.
Resources: Higher Education specific Resources, Related Presentations, Tools and Templates, Purdue's End to End CUI Workflow and Deliverables #NSF 1840043
Advocate and Negotiate
Develop representation through strategic partnerships with industry and government entities.
Resources: Advocating and Influencing, Federal Sponsored Resources
Manage Change
The Department of Defense modified the DFARS clause to mandate that NIST 800-171 be followed for data classified and marked as CUI in 2017. The next evolution of this program, CMMC, has already undergone significant changes now called CMMC 2.0. Other agencies, for example, Department of Education, have indicated that they are considering following a similar path to safeguard data.
Resource: Effective Cybersecurity for Researchers
Simplify Compliance
A collective and streamline approach to compliance lowers the barrier to entrance for expansion of supported regulations by individual institutions.
Resource: Compliance Frameworks,
