Insights on NIST 800-171 Joint Surveillance Voluntary Assessments (JSVA) from IntelliGRC

GRC Academy

So… How do I get a CMMC’d early?

In this episode, Jacob speaks with Steven Molter of IntelliGRC about his experiences helping IntelliGRC clients complete NIST 800-171 Joint Surveillance Voluntary Assessments (JSVAs).

Here are some highlights:

• The JSVA process & how to request one
• The different teams within DIBCAC
• The challenge of subjectivity during assessments
• Advice for companies preparing for JSVAs
• How a company convinced DIBCAC to "upgrade" from a traditional DIBCAC high assessment to a JSVA

According to the proposed CMMC program rule, JSVAs are eligible to convert to CMMC level 2 certifications once the CMMC program goes live assuming certain conditions are met:

• Perfect assessment score
• No open assessment POA&Ms

Steve shared some great lessons for those preparing for JSVAs and CMMC assessments. If you're prepping for either, you won’t want to miss this episode!
