When COTS Isn’t Enough: Why You Need a NIST 800.171 Compliant Supplier Like Everight Position

When COTS Isn’t Enough

Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components can be appropriate for many defense and aerospace applications, but component selection is only part of the procurement process. When a supplier handles Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), applicable cybersecurity requirements can become an important part of supplier qualification.

NIST SP 800-171 and the Defense Supply Chain

NIST SP 800-171 defines security requirements for protecting CUI in nonfederal systems and organizations. For companies participating in the Department of Defense supply chain, these requirements can affect how sensitive information is accessed, stored, transmitted, and protected.

Everight’s Cybersecurity Posture

Everight has implemented cybersecurity controls aligned with NIST SP 800-171 and has completed a CMMC Level 2 self-assessment. These efforts support Everight’s ability to work with defense and aerospace customers whose programs include cybersecurity and supply-chain security requirements.

CMMC certification is a separate process from implementing NIST SP 800-171 controls or completing a self-assessment. Everight does not currently represent itself as CMMC certified.

Position Sensing Support for Defense Applications

Everight supports engineers evaluating position-sensing and rotary-connectivity technologies for demanding applications, including rotary encoders, linear position sensors, inclinometers, and slip rings. Our role is to help customers evaluate appropriate technologies and products based on the technical requirements of their application.

Contact Everight Position to discuss position-sensing requirements for your defense or aerospace application.
