What it is

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.

Who must comply

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.

The scope

110 controls across 14 families
