Win more federal contracts with NIST 800-171
As an organization interested in working on a federal contract, you must implement the appropriate NIST 800-171 controls. These cybersecurity control measures protect vital information in nonfederal systems and organizations and are mandatory for any organization acting as a government contractor.
Leverage the expertise of a high-quality C3PAO to achieve compliance
Federal frameworks like CMMC and NIST are far more complex than SOC 2. Our extensive federal expertise across FedRAMP and NIST frameworks helps you have confidence in the process and reduce risk.
Prevent business disruption and meet requirements
As a federal contractor handling CUI, you need to comply with NIST 800-171. If you also work with the DoD as a contractor, youโll need to certify against CMMC. CMMC builds on NIST 800-171 with additional structure and requirements.
Save time and pass your CMMC assessment on the first attempt
Have a contract with the DoD? Avoid unnecessary remediation and delays, ensuring a smoother, more efficient process that keeps your project on track. With a high-quality assessment, youโll save valuable time and keep your team focused on their core priorities.
โA-LIGN was a strong partner throughout the process to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification. Their structured approach and expertise helped validate the work our cybersecurity team has done.โ
