You get a fixed price before we start. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises, no invoice that looks nothing like the quote.

ASAP Turnaround

Assessments times vary, but we can kick off ASAP. Built for real audit deadlines, not enterprise consulting timelines.

Auditor-Ready Deliverables

What is a NIST SP 800-171 Compliance Assessment?

NIST SP 800-171 defines 110 security requirements across 14 control families that any non-federal organization handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must satisfy. Originally developed for defense contractors, it now applies broadly to any organization receiving federal contracts or grants that involve CUI — from aerospace manufacturers to research universities to IT service providers.

A NIST 800-171 compliance assessment is a gap analysis that compares your current security controls against every one of those 110 requirements. You find out exactly which controls you have documented and operating, which ones are missing entirely, and which have evidence gaps that will surface under scrutiny.

What Our NIST 800-171 Assessment Covers

  • All 110 requirements reviewed against your actual environment — not just your System Security Plan documentation
  • Deep focus on Access Control (3.1), Identification and Authentication (3.5), Configuration Management (3.4), and System and Communications Protection (3.13) — the families that generate the most findings
  • CUI boundary map validating your scope reduction strategy before an assessor tests it
  • System Security Plan (SSP) framework built or reviewed to evidence standards
  • Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) with realistic remediation timelines for every finding

The 110 Controls: Where Most Organizations Actually Fail

NIST 800-171 organizes requirements into 14 control families. The ones that consistently generate findings aren’t ones organizations ignore — they’re the ones where the evidence is incomplete, outdated, or doesn’t match what’s actually deployed. We dig into the gap between your System Security Plan and your real-world configuration.

Common NIST 800-171 Questions

Who needs to comply with NIST 800-171?

Any non-federal organization that processes, stores, or transmits CUI under a federal contract or grant. This includes defense contractors, research institutions, IT service providers, and manufacturers with DoD contracts. If your contract includes DFARS clause 252.204-7012, NIST 800-171 applies to you.

How long does a NIST 800-171 assessment take?

For most small to mid-size organizations, five to fifteen business days depending on environment complexity. We scope it honestly on the first call.

Common Questions

Common NIST 800-171 / CMMC Questions

Do I need a CMMC assessment even if I’ve been self-attesting under DFARS?

If you handle CUI and your contract will require CMMC Level 2, you need a third-party assessment from an accredited C3PAO. Self-attestation satisfied the interim rule. The full CMMC implementation changes that. Our assessment gets you ready before the C3PAO clock starts.

How long does a NIST 800-171 gap assessment take?

For most small to mid-size defense contractors, five to fifteen business days depending on environment complexity. We’ll scope it honestly on the first call, not give you a range designed to protect billing hours.
