Understanding NIST SP 800-171 Compliance
Q: What is NIST SP 800-171?
NIST SP 800-171 is a cybersecurity framework created by the U.S. government for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems. If you handle sensitive government data, especially for the DoD, this is the standard you need to follow.
Q: What does it make you compliant with?
By following NIST SP 800-171, you're compliant with DFARS 252.204-7012 and DoD cybersecurity requirements. It also allows you to submit your self-assessment score to the SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System).
Q: What benefits come with being compliant?
- You're allowed to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)
- You can win or retain DoD contracts and subcontracts
- You're prepared for upcoming CMMC Level 2 certification
Q: Is NIST SP 800-171 the same as SOC 2 or HIPAA?
No — those frameworks cover different domains. NIST SP 800-171 is focused specifically on government data (CUI). SOC 2 is for general SaaS security, and HIPAA is for healthcare data.
Q: How does it relate to CMMC?
NIST SP 800-171 is the foundation of CMMC Level 2. To get certified for CMMC Level 2, you need to fully implement all 97 controls in NIST 800-171.
Q: How does your platform help with compliance?
Our platform guides you through every NIST control with structured determination statements, ODP inputs, and assessment checklists. You can upload audit-ready evidence, track progress, and generate your SSP and POA&M reports automatically — so when it’s time for a CMMC Level 2 audit, you're already prepared.
| Framework | Purpose | Tied To |
