NIST 800-171 is a critical security framework for businesses handling controlled unclassified information (CUI). Compliance is essential for working with U.S. federal agencies, defense contractors, and government suppliers.
CyberArrow GRC automates NIST 800-171 compliance, making it easier to meet security requirements, protect sensitive data, and build trust with government partners—all while reducing manual effort.
NIST 800-171 is a non-certifiable standard that provides security controls for access management, data encryption, incident response, and risk assessments. Organizations that process, store, or transmit CUI must comply to continue working with federal agencies.
Once all the requirements from the standard have been implemented the organization will remain ready for NIST 800-171 audits.
No prerequisites are needed, our Customer Success Team will guide you through the implementation. Implement NIST 800-171 in 3 weeks using CyberArrow.

NIST 800-171 is a cybersecurity framework that outlines security requirements for protecting controlled unclassified information (CUI) in non-federal systems. Compliance is essential for businesses working with U.S. federal agencies, defense contractors, and government suppliers to ensure data security and maintain eligibility for contracts.
No, NIST 800-171 is not a certifiable standard. However, organizations must comply with its requirements to continue working with government entities. Future programs like CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) will assess compliance levels based on NIST 800-171 controls.
CyberArrow automates the entire compliance process, reducing manual effort and ensuring organizations stay compliant. It helps businesses manage risk assessments, collect evidence, and monitor compliance in real time.
Any business that processes, stores, or transmits controlled unclassified information (CUI) for U.S. federal agencies, contractors, and suppliers must comply. This includes companies in industries like defense, aerospace, technology, and manufacturing.
With CyberArrow, organizations can streamline the implementation process and reduce compliance time. The platform automates key tasks, and the Customer Success Team provides guidance to help businesses achieve compliance faster than traditional manual methods.
