SigmaSRC NIST 800-171/172 Compliance

COMPLY WITH NIST 800-171 and NIST 800-172

Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal information systems and organizations.

If you are an organization affected by the recent regulation issued by the Department of Defense (DoD) and defined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 and extended with SP 800-172 in 2021, you will need to demonstrate continuous compliance with 14 broadly-written security mandates dealing with network and data security, or else lose your governmental contracts.

SigmaSRC translates the 110+ security requirements of NIST SP 800-171 — and the enhanced protections of 800-172 — into enforceable technical controls across your infrastructure.

Key SigmaSRC Capabilities:

  • Mandate-to-Control Mapping: Automatically aligns NIST 800-171/172 requirements to actionable system-level controls
  • Automated Policy Enforcement: Deploys and enforces access control, audit logging, system configuration, and incident response policies across endpoints
  • Agentic AI Enforcement: Dynamically adapts controls based on system posture and threat context
  • CUI Protection: Restricts access, monitors data movement, and prevents unauthorized transfers to external storage or unmanaged devices
  • Audit-Ready Reporting: Generates continuous evidence for SPRS scoring, CMMC assessments, and internal reviews

Related Compliance Frameworks

Defense contractors often need multiple compliance certifications:

  • CIS Controls - Technical benchmarks that implement NIST requirements
  • ISO 27001 - International standard recognized alongside NIST
  • SOC 2 - Required by many commercial customers
  • HIPAA - For defense health organizations
  • PCI-DSS - For defense contractors processing payments

The SigmaSRC Platform provides unified compliance with NIST control mappings to all related frameworks.
