Map firewall controls, evidence, and gaps to CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171. Use when assessing CUI boundaries, least privilege, remote access, SSP or POA&M evidence, C3PAO readiness, DFARS 252.204-7012, or requirements such as 3.1.1 and 3.13.1. Parse raw configs first.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Overview

Use this skill to answer questions like “what does an NGFW need to do for CMMC Level 2?” or “is this firewall design sufficient for NIST 800-171 boundary protection around CUI?” The core answer is: a next-generation firewall is not CMMC compliant by itself. CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 are assessed against the contractor environment, the systems that store, process, or transmit Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and the policies, procedures, people, evidence, and technical controls used to protect that CUI.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mechubsec/fwskillsshare/cmmc-nist-800-171-ngfw-compliance@sha256:953e3949f62a39b8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
