NIST Gap
Assessment
The federal government demands all its contractors to comply with the NIST cybersecurity framework. In case an audit determines the organization’s failure to meet NIST compliance, severe measures may be taken, including contract penalties or legal procedures.
What is NIST Compliance?
NIST compliance is the adoption and implementation of all the framework’s requirements. For an organization to be NIST compliant, it has to fully implement all NIST cybersecurity framework requirements. When giving out contracts, federal agencies check your organization’s IT position against the NIST 800-171 compliance requirements.
The main compliance frameworks are the NIST 800-53 and the NIST 800-171. The NIST 800-53 applies to all organizations that design information systems for the federal government. On the other hand, the NIST 800-171 applies to all federal contractors and subcontractors.
