NIST 800-171 compliance is a set of mandatory cybersecurity guidelines and standards that are specifically aimed at enhancing cybersecurity posture of organizations that handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This includes federal agencies, contractors, and subcontractors who work with the government.
Compliance with NIST 800-171 ensures that organizations have taken the necessary steps to safeguard this information and prevent potential breaches. It’s essential for businesses that work with the government to comply with these guidelines to protect their sensitive data from unauthorized access, theft, or destruction. Failure to comply can result in serious consequences such as loss of contracts, fines, and even legal action.
