Frequently Asked Questions About NIST 800-171 Compliance

NIST SP 800-171 refers to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Special Publication 800-171, which outlines security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations. This framework defines recommended requirements for safeguarding the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), particularly for organizations subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). It was initially released in 2015 by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and has undergone multiple revisions since its release.

Adhering to NIST SP 800-171 is required for any organization processing Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This is primarily federal agencies or contractors working on their behalf, though other organizations may be contractually obligated to implement SP 800-171 requirements if they are interacting with CUI in any capacity.

NIST SP 800-171 has 97 controls organized into 17 families that support the confidentiality of CUI. These controls support different aspects of information security, such as access control, auditing and accountability, supply chain risk management, incident response, and more. These controls can be met by organizations internally or by using managed services to satisfy requirements.

Some of the information security best practices required by NIST 800-171 have broad overlap with other security frameworks, especially those enforced by the U.S. federal government. In particular, NIST SP 800-171 is closely tied to NIST SP 800-53, which is a set of comprehensive controls also designed by the NIST to protect federal information systems. The U.S. Department of Defense’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) also closely aligns with NIST 800-171, along with FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act) and DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) standards.

Outside of U.S. federal frameworks and standards, NIST SP 800-171 also has overlapping controls with ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and more.

Hyperproof’s NIST 800-171 compliance software helps organizations implement, monitor, and maintain compliance requirements in the most effective way possible. Hyperproof offers an integrated GRC platform that simplifies NIST 800-171 compliance by combining a pre-built program template, automated evidence collection, incident response tracking, and continuous monitoring.

Hyperproof comes with an out-of-the-box NIST SP 800-171 program template that helps compliance teams immediately start gathering evidence and reviewing requirements and controls. If you’ve already implemented a related security framework and you’re looking to gain NIST 800-171 compliance, Hyperproof’s multi-framework mapping helps teams apply existing security controls to NIST requirements. This helps teams avoid redundant work and utilize a common control framework that meets the compliance requirements of various frameworks.
