NIST SP 800-171

NIST SP 800-171 defines the cybersecurity requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems. These requirements are contractually enforced through DFARS clauses and form the technical foundation of CMMC 2.0.

Compliance requires more than implementing technical controls. Organizations must demonstrate that policies, procedures, and operational practices consistently protect CUI and can be validated through documented evidence.

NIST SP 800-171 Readiness and Implementation Support

JLGOV provides NIST SP 800-171 readiness and implementation support to help organizations understand their current compliance posture and prepare for contractual and audit requirements.

Our services include structured gap assessments, review and development of System Security Plans (SSPs) and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), and support for control implementation and remediation activities.

We focus on aligning technical controls, policies, and operational practices so that compliance is repeatable, defensible, and supported by evidence. This includes guidance on access control, configuration management, incident response, risk assessment, and continuous monitoring.

Through managed operations and security monitoring, JLGOV also supports ongoing compliance by helping organizations maintain visibility, generate audit-ready artifacts, and respond effectively to compliance inquiries over time.
