NIST SP 800 171 Network Security for Controlled Unclassified Data Testing

NIST SP 800 171 Network Security for Controlled Unclassified Data Testing

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication SP 800-171 is a cornerstone document providing the guidelines for safeguarding controlled unclassified information. This publication ensures organizations meet federal requirements to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure.

Our comprehensive testing service aligns with NIST SP 800-171 to ensure your network security measures are robust and compliant. Our team of experts employs a multi-faceted approach to evaluate every aspect of your network infrastructure that processes controlled unclassified information (CUI). This includes assessing access controls, boundary defenses, cryptography, identification and authentication mechanisms, and continuous monitoring.

Our testing process involves the following key steps:

  • Initial Assessment: We conduct a thorough review of your current network architecture to identify potential vulnerabilities. This step ensures we have a comprehensive understanding of your existing setup before proceeding with more detailed evaluations.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: Utilizing cutting-edge tools and techniques, our team performs vulnerability scanning to detect any weaknesses in your network that could be exploited by malicious actors.
  • Data Analysis: We analyze the results of our scans to determine where improvements are needed. This includes examining access controls, cryptography practices, and other critical areas identified in NIST SP 800-171.
  • Compliance Verification: Our experts ensure all findings align with the specific requirements outlined in NIST SP 800-171 to provide a fully compliant solution.
  • Reporting and Recommendations: Upon completion of our assessment, we deliver a detailed report outlining all identified vulnerabilities along with actionable recommendations to strengthen your network security posture.

We understand that compliance with NIST SP 800-171 is not merely about ticking boxes; it's about ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data. Our goal is to provide you with a roadmap for achieving this, empowering you to protect your organization from potential threats effectively.
