What is NIST 800-171?

NIST 800-171, titled “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations,” is a set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help nonfederal entities safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This document is crucial for organizations in the defense industrial base or those handling CUI as part of their federal contracts. It specifies security controls across 14 families, addressing aspects like access control and incident response. Compliance with NIST 800-171 is integral to meeting the requirements of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a certification process that assesses a company’s adherence to certain cybersecurity practices and processes, including those outlined in NIST 800-171.

Who needs to implement NIST 800-171?

Organizations that need to implement NIST 800-171 are typically nonfederal entities that handle, process, or store Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) as part of their contractual obligations with the federal government. This includes contractors, subcontractors, and private sector companies working within the defense industrial base, as well as other industries engaged in partnerships with federal agencies.

How can a GRC Assessment Platform help with the NIST 800-171?

A GRC Assessment Platform like Isora empowers organizations to develop and sustain an information security risk management program that aligns with NIST 800-171. Utilizing Isora, organizations can inventory their IT assets, applications, third-party vendors, organizational units, and people, establishing a comprehensive overview essential for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The platform enables continuous risk self-assessments, critical for assessing and aligning with NIST 800-171 standards. Identified risks are tracked in a risk register, facilitating prioritized follow-up and mitigation. This structured approach not only aids in achieving compliance with NIST 800-171 but also strengthens the organization’s overall information security posture.
