When using the NIST SP 800-171 based free SSP templates below, we really recommend you watch the related As the CMMC Churns videos:
- As the CMMC Churns | Your SSP Sucks, Seriously.: This Churns video explains how you use our SSP templates
- As the CMMC Churns | The Three Types of Evidentiary Objects: This Churns video looks at the three main types of Examination Assess Objects enumerated in NIST SP 800-171A. This video also expounds on part of how to write an effective SSP.
- As the CMMC Churns | Assessors and Toddlers: This explains the Document Traceability Matrix
- As the CMMC Churns | Documenting Your Scope: How to create a scope diagram for your SSP
This free SSP Template is dependent upon using the Document Traceability Matrix (DTM) for mapping requirements to policies, plans, procedures, et al.
This SSP Template is not dependent upon using the Document Traceability Matrix (DTM) for mapping requirements to policies, plans, procedures, et al. It uses a table after each requirement to show traceability.
This is the Document Traceability Matrix (DTM) used for mapping requirements to policies, plans, procedures, et al in an external document.
This is the Scope Diagram template that is used in the free SSP templates. This is useful to illustrate your NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC Scoping boundaries internally or to an assessor.
