Frequently Asked Questions
What is NIST 800-171 compliance?
NIST 800-171 details the baseline for securing CUI within non-federal systems and organizations. Compliance ensures your cybersecurity compliances are in line with requirements for having impenetrable defense over the sensitive information.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the official NIST SP 800-171 Revision 2 Document.
Why is NIST 800-171 compliance important for government contractors?
It is a federal mandate to be followed by all contractors who would be dealing with CUI in order to ensure security and safety of such sensitive information. If you are out of compliance, it will actually disqualify you from government contracts that your business competes for and could likely result in legal penalties.

How long does it take to become compliant?
It differs depending on the size of the organization and where the organization operates, but on average, 3-6 months is the adequate required period of time. This includes time to perform initial assessments, develop an action plan, implement security controls, and conduct final reviews.

Typically, the price will hinge directly on the scope of work. For a whole compliance package, such as gap analysis, policy development, and support, prices could range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more. Contact us for pricing customized to your needs.
