By Peter Noble, Founder/CEO of Noble Technology Group

Why NIST 800-171r2 Is a Strategic Imperative

For small businesses and nonprofits handling controlled unclassified information (CUI), NIST 800-171r2 compliance is more than a requirement—it’s a competitive advantage. Whether you're pursuing federal contracts or protecting sensitive client data, aligning your IT infrastructure with these standards builds trust and resilience.

At Noble Technology Group, we specialize in guiding organizations through the complexities of NIST 800-171r2 using a blend of managed IT services, IT support and services, and IT compliance services. Our approach is practical, scalable, and tailored to your mission.

Understanding NIST 800-171r2

NIST 800-171r2 outlines 110 cybersecurity controls across 14 categories, including access control, incident response, audit logging, and system integrity. These controls are designed to safeguard CUI in non-federal systems and are often prerequisites for DFARS and CMMC compliance.

Our Proven Process for Compliance

Step 1: Network Health Check

We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your current IT environment, identifying vulnerabilities in endpoint security, patching, backup routines, and access control.

Step 2: Strategic Remediation

We develop a customized roadmap to implement controls such as multi-factor authentication, encrypted communications, secure remote access, and endpoint protection for remote teams.

Step 3: Documentation and Audit Readiness

We help you build your System Security Plan (SSP), Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M), and other required documentation to prepare for NIST 800-171 audits and cyber insurance qualification.

Step 4: Ongoing Monitoring and Support

Our remote monitoring and management tools ensure continuous compliance, while our help desk supports your team with real-time issue resolution and training.
