Introduction
Ensuring the security of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and other sensitive data is paramount for organizations working with the Department of Defense (DoD). Compliance with standards such as NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 requires stringent physical security controls. NDAA-compliant video surveillance systems, like Hanwha WiseNet Wave and Digital Watchdog, play a crucial role in meeting these requirements.

- Advanced Analytics: Includes features like motion detection, object tracking, and facial recognition, enhancing situational awareness and security response.
- Integration Capabilities: Easily integrates with other security systems, including access control and intrusion detection.
Digital Watchdog:
- 4K Resolution: Offers ultra-high-definition video capture, ensuring every detail is recorded.
- Robust Storage Solutions: Provides extensive storage options to retain video footage for extended periods.
- Remote Monitoring: Allows for real-time monitoring and playback from any location via mobile devices or desktops.
- Cybersecurity Features: Built with strong cybersecurity measures to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
How These Systems Assist with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 Compliance
Physical Security Requirements: Both NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC outline specific physical security controls to protect sensitive data. These include:
- PE.L1-3.10.1: Limit physical access to authorized individuals.
- PE.L1-3.10.3: Escort visitors and monitor their activities.
- PE.L1-3.10.4: Maintain audit logs of physical access.
- PE.L2-3.10.2: Protect and monitor the physical facility and support infrastructure (Cleared Systems) (SSE Incorporated) (Adelia Risk).
Role of Video Surveillance Systems:
- Limiting Physical Access: Both Hanwha WiseNet Wave and Digital Watchdog systems can be configured to monitor entry and exit points, ensuring only authorized individuals access sensitive areas.
- Visitor Monitoring: These systems provide real-time monitoring and recorded footage of visitors, fulfilling the requirement to escort and monitor visitor activities. This is crucial for ensuring that visitors do not access unauthorized areas.
- Audit Logs and Evidence: The systems maintain detailed logs of all recorded events, which can be used for auditing and compliance verification. High-resolution footage provides clear evidence of compliance with physical security controls.
- Facility Protection: Advanced analytics and real-time alerts help detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activities, enhancing the overall security of the facility and supporting infrastructure.
Importance of NDAA Compliance
NDAA compliance ensures that the surveillance equipment used is secure and free from vulnerabilities that could be exploited by foreign adversaries. Both Hanwha WiseNet Wave and Digital Watchdog are NDAA-compliant, ensuring that organizations meet federal requirements and avoid the risks associated with non-compliant equipment (SSE Incorporated) (CMMC Insights).
Partnering with Licensed Low Voltage Contractors
Implementing these advanced surveillance systems requires specialized knowledge and expertise. Licensed low voltage contractors, like Digital Systems Integration Inc. (DSI), ensure that the systems are installed correctly and in compliance with all regulatory requirements. Electrical technicians may not have the specific expertise needed for sophisticated video surveillance systems, highlighting the importance of hiring specialized contractors.
Conclusion
NDAA-compliant video surveillance systems like Hanwha WiseNet Wave and Digital Watchdog are essential tools for meeting the physical security requirements of CMMC and NIST SP 800-171. These systems offer advanced features, robust security, and comprehensive monitoring capabilities, ensuring the protection of sensitive information. Partnering with specialized contractors like Digital Systems Integration Inc. ensures proper installation and compliance, safeguarding your organization’s data and infrastructure.
