NIST 800-171 Assessments
To strengthen the security of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) took action in 2019, establishing critical assessment requirements for defense contractors. These require all contractors handling CUI to complete NIST 800-171 Basic self-assessments and report their scores to the DoD prior to contract awards or renewals. But that's not all—the DoD doesn’t leave security to chance. They also conduct 300 unannounced medium or high assessments annually, giving businesses just 5 days’ notice to prepare.
Protect your DoD contracts and avoid being caught off guard by these rigorous assessments. Our team of industry experts will perform in-depth, annual NIST 800-171 Basic self-assessments, providing you peace of mind when submitting your assessment score into SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System).
We don’t stop at the basics. Should your organization face one of the DoD's surprise medium or high assessments, Kraken Compliance is ready to step in. Get compliance-ready with Kraken and safeguard your contracts today.
