What is NIST 800-171 and Why is It Important?
NIST 800-171 provides a set of guidelines that organizations must follow to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems and organizations. Compliance with NIST 800-171 is mandatory for any organization that handles CUI as part of a federal contract, especially those working with the Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and NASA. Achieving compliance is critical not only for meeting contractual obligations but also for safeguarding sensitive information from cyber threats.
