NIST 800-171
Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information
NIST Special Publication 800-171 defines 110 security requirements across 14 control families for protecting CUI in nonfederal systems and organizations. RavGuard helps organizations implement these controls and build the documentation that supports alignment with NIST 800-171 requirements.
Control Families
Addressing All 14 NIST 800-171 Control Families
NIST 800-171 organizes its 110 security requirements into 14 families. RavGuard provides implementation support across every family, ensuring comprehensive coverage that supports alignment with the full scope of the standard.
Implementation
From Gap Analysis to Operational Controls
Many organizations find the gap between their current security posture and NIST 800-171 requirements to be significant. RavGuard bridges that gap systematically, starting with a thorough assessment of your current state and building a prioritized implementation plan that accounts for your budget, timeline, and operational constraints.
We implement controls using enterprise-grade platforms that you can sustain long-term. Microsoft 365 and Entra ID provide identity and access management. Huntress, CrowdStrike, and Microsoft Defender deliver endpoint protection and managed detection. Todyl and Fortinet provide network security. This integrated approach ensures controls work together rather than creating isolated, hard-to-maintain point solutions.
Documentation and Evidence
System Security Plan
A comprehensive SSP that documents your system boundaries, data flows, control implementations, and responsible personnel for each NIST 800-171 requirement.
Plan of Action and Milestones
A living POA&M document that tracks identified gaps, planned remediation activities, timelines, and resource requirements for achieving full alignment.
Continuous Monitoring Evidence
Automated evidence collection through compliance platforms like Drata and Vanta, supplemented by security operations data from your managed detection services.
