NIST 800-171
Protect CUI. Hold up to scrutiny.
Implementing all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls is the price of admission for most defense work — and the foundation of CMMC. We help you do it in a way that reduces real risk and survives an assessment.
The security requirements for protecting CUI
NIST SP 800-171 defines how Controlled Unclassified Information must be protected on nonfederal systems. Meeting it safeguards the data and the contract at the same time.
Defense contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers that process, store, or transmit CUI — usually triggered by DFARS clauses. If you’ve signed one, the clock is running.
110 controls across 14 families
They span access control, incident response, configuration management, risk assessment, training, system protection, and continuous monitoring — technical and administrative together. Implementing them well is the work; documenting them honestly is what gets you through an assessment.
