IT Problems That Can Be Prevented
NIST Compliance Pain Points We Eliminate
Unclear Control Requirements Across Multiple Frameworks
The NIST 800-series includes hundreds of controls that vary by framework. We break it down and align your IT environment with only what applies to your business.
No Centralized Risk Management Strategy
Many businesses operate without a defined security plan. We implement risk-based frameworks like NIST 800-53 and 800-171 to give your IT strategy structure and direction.
Missing Documentation and Audit Readiness
You can't prove compliance without documentation. We create policies, system security plans (SSPs), and POA&Ms to ensure you're always prepared for audits and assessments.
IT Teams Stretched Too Thin
Even skilled internal staff can't keep up with NIST's depth. We provide co-managed compliance support to ensure nothing gets missed while freeing up your team.
Vendor Risks and Insecure Supply Chains
Third-party vendors often create vulnerabilities. We evaluate vendor security posture and build requirements into your procurement and onboarding processes.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About NIST 800-Series Compliance Services
What is the NIST 800-series?
Is NIST 800-171 required for my business?
If you handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for a government contract, then yes, NIST 800-171 is mandatory under DFARS. Even if you're not federally contracted, aligning with this standard enhances your security posture and insurance viability.
How is NIST different from other frameworks like CIS or ISO?
NIST frameworks are detailed, control-based guidelines often used by federal agencies and contractors. CIS Controls are more operational, while ISO frameworks are more globally recognized. We help you understand the right fit—or combination—for your needs.
What kind of documentation does NIST compliance require?
Documentation typically includes a System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), policies for access control, incident response, configuration management, and more. We develop and maintain all required documents as part of our service.
Can you help us prepare for a CMMC assessment?
Yes. We specialize in CMMC readiness based on NIST 800-171. We'll help you close gaps, document controls, and prepare for the third-party assessment process with confidence.
What if we already have an internal IT team?
No problem. Our co-managed IT compliance services allow us to work alongside your staff. We handle the regulatory and documentation-heavy work while your team focuses on core business operations.
How long does it take to become NIST compliant?
Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your environment. Some small businesses can become aligned within 60-90 days, while larger or more regulated organizations may take longer. We provide an estimated timeline after your initial gap assessment.
