NIST SP 800-171 · CUI Protection & Evidence Mapping

NIST SP 800-171, done properly.

If your contracts involve Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), NIST SP 800-171 is the baseline you're expected to meet. We translate the 110 requirements into a scoped plan, clean documentation, and a reviewer-friendly evidence map — and because we hold CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 certification ourselves, it's built the way assessors actually read it.

  • Clear boundary definition — what's in scope and what's out
  • Gap assessment across all 14 NIST control families
  • SSP + POA&M support tied to your actual controls
  • Evidence map and collection plan reviewers understand

Why FBP

Built by a team that's CMMC & NIST 800-171 certified.

We don't just write about the standard — we live inside it. Federal Bid Partners maintains its own CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 posture, so your documentation, SSP, and evidence map are built the way an assessor expects to read them, not from a template guess.

FAQ

Questions about 800-171 & CUI.

Controlled Unclassified Information is sensitive federal information that isn't classified but still requires protection. If your contracts or flow-downs require you to handle CUI, NIST SP 800-171 is typically the baseline of safeguards you're expected to meet. If you're not sure, we can help you clarify scope before you commit to anything.

They're closely related. NIST SP 800-171 is the control set; CMMC Level 2 is largely an assessment of those same requirements. Getting your 800-171 documentation and evidence clean is the foundation for a CMMC effort — and since we're certified in both ourselves, we can extend the work toward CMMC with the add-on when you're ready.

The System Security Plan (SSP) describes how your environment meets each requirement; the Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) tracks any gaps with owners and timelines to close them. Together they're the core documentation reviewers expect to see, and both are part of the package.

The package is documentation-first: assessment, SSP/POA&M, evidence mapping, and an execution plan. Hands-on remediation and evidence gathering are available as scoped sprints (see the add-ons) so you only pay for the help you actually need.

A short kickoff to define your boundary, the contract requirements driving this, and access to the right points of contact. From there we confirm scope, flag anything that needs an add-on, and lay out the deliverable timeline.
