NIST Sp800-171

NIST SP 800-171 is a set of guidelines from the National Institute of Standards and Technology designed to protect sensitive federal information when it's processed or stored by non-federal organizations. It outlines specific security requirements that businesses must follow to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). These requirements cover areas like access control, incident response, and risk assessment. The goal is to ensure that sensitive data remains secure while allowing collaboration between government and private sector entities. Following these guidelines helps organizations minimize risks and enhance their overall security posture.
