The WUSTL Secure Enclave service supports the NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2 security standard, required for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If you plan to respond to a federal funding opportunity involving CUI, you must have appropriate cybersecurity measures to accept the grant or contract. This includes research data and project information generated during federally funded work.
Research Information Services (RIS) can help you with an initial assessment and provide cost estimates for the technology needed to achieve compliance.
The assessment and cost estimates for technology needs may include:
- Communication Requirements – secure O365 accounts
- Data Storage and Compute requirements– Azure VM in a secure enclave
- Hardware requirements – security and software constraints
- Data Transfer requirements
- Instrumentation – bringing lab equipment into the enclave
- Physical Security
- CUI Training
- Background Checks
