What is a NIST Assessment and Do I Need One?
If you are reading this, chances are good that you have been informed that your organization is required to have a “NIST Assessment”. As if you don’t have enough headaches. You are probably asking “What is a NIST assessment?” “Is a NIST assessment the same thing as a NIST cyber risk assessment?” Is that the same as a NIST risk assessment or NIST 800-171 assessment?” These are all important questions with straight forward answers.
NIST 800-171 refers to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171, which governs Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in Non-Federal Information Systems and Organizations. If your computer systems store non-classified federal information, you must comply with the requirements of the NIST 800-171 cyber security framework. The main path to compliance is a NIST 800-171 assessment sometimes commonly referred to as a NIST cyber security assessment. A NIST cyber risk assessment compares how your organization is aligned with the NIST 800-171 cyber security framework (i.e. a set of approximately 300 operational, procedural, management and technical controls that act as countermeasures against cyber intruders.
