Achieve NIST 800-171 Compliance with Confidence
If your organization handles Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for the Department of Defense or federal contractors, compliance with NIST 800-171 is mandatory. Without proper security controls, you risk audit failures, lost contracts, and potential data breaches. Executives need visibility into compliance readiness, while IT teams need a clear roadmap to protect sensitive data and maintain operational efficiency.
Secure Data Technologies helps leadership and IT teams achieve NIST 800-171 compliance with clarity and confidence. We combine strategic advisory expertise with hands-on implementation to secure CUI, reduce risk, and support business growth.
A Clear Path to Compliance
Assess & Benchmark – We evaluate your IT environment, security controls, and operational practices against NIST 800-171 requirements to identify gaps, risks, and inefficiencies.
Plan & Implement – Based on assessment results, we design and implement a roadmap addressing all technical, administrative, and physical controls required by NIST 800-171.
Govern & Sustain – Compliance is continuous. We provide monitoring, documentation updates, and governance practices to maintain readiness and reduce long-term risk.

NIST 800-171 Services We Provide
NIST 800-171 Advisory & Gap Assessments
We evaluate your IT environment, security controls, and operational practices against all 110 NIST 800-171 requirements. Our assessments identify gaps in access control, audit logging, system security, and incident response, providing a clear roadmap for remediation and helping leadership understand compliance readiness.
Security Architecture & Controls
We implement technical safeguards to protect CUI across networks, endpoints, and applications, including encryption, endpoint security, network segmentation, firewalls, and secure remote access. This ensures your systems are audit-ready and protected against unauthorized access.
Policy & Documentation Development
We develop the policies, procedures, and documentation required for NIST 800-171 compliance, including system security plans, access control policies, incident response procedures, and audit logs. Proper documentation streamlines audits and ensures staff follow defined processes.
Access & Identity Management
Role-based access, least-privilege enforcement, and multi-factor authentication ensure only authorized personnel can access CUI. Incorporating Zero Trust principles, we continuously verify users and devices, aligning access with NIST 800-171 technical safeguards.
Continuous Monitoring & Risk Management
We provide ongoing monitoring of systems, networks, and user activity to detect anomalies, enforce policies, and respond to incidents. This includes regular risk assessments, patch management, and reporting, maintaining compliance and reducing long-term risk.
Vendor & Third-Party Oversight
We manage the security posture of all vendors, cloud providers, and subcontractors handling CUI, reviewing contracts, conducting security assessments, and ensuring controls align with NIST 800-171. This reduces third-party risk and demonstrates due diligence.
