Are You Ready for BEAD?
How can you tell if you are BEAD cybersecurity & SCRM ready?
Have you documented a current depiction of your cybersecurity posture against NIST CSF 1.1? (This is the as-is profile). Have you conducted an asset-based risk assessment? If so, have you created a target profile? Do you have a Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM)? Do you have a complete asset inventory prioritized by vendor?
If your answer is NO to any of these questions, you are NOT ready!
