In response to these draft requirements, a core NSPM-33 committee was formed to enable the UMaine research enterprise to achieve and maintain compliance with emerging NSPM-33 requirements. The NSPM-33 committee will advise University leadership of progress, status, and risks within the context of NSPM-33. UMaine\u2019s Advanced Research Computing, Security, and Information Management (ARCSIM) is also working closely with the UMS:IT Information Security Office to detail the implications of the draft cybersecurity requirements in NSPM-33.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The successful implementation of NSPM-33 is paramount to UMaine\u2019s success as a research institution. Failure to comply with these federal requirements could result in penalties or loss of grant funding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compliance with these new requirements will take cooperation from the entire University community, and it is recognized that the federal government has proposed an aggressive schedule for the implementation of NSPM-33. Seeking compliance with input from the research community will be essential..\u00a0 Please look out for updates from ARCSIM in the fall of 2023 to be aware of the full impact of NSPM-33 on federally supported research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shortly after the release of the official guidance this fall, the NSPM-33 committee will host a public forum to discuss NSPM-33. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is NSPM-33?
