NIST 800-171 Compliance for Financial Service Providers
Financial Systems with NIST 800-171
If your fintech platform or financial service supports federal agencies or defense contractors, you’re likely required to implement NIST SP 800-171 safeguards. These controls protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and your eligibility to maintain government contracts depends on them.
Many financial organizations already follow security frameworks like PCI DSS, SOC 2, or ISO 27001, but adding NIST 800-171 can feel like a maze of overlapping controls and unfamiliar language. What’s required? What’s already covered? And how do you avoid redundant work while maintaining performance and compliance?
Tailored Compliance That Works With Your Existing Security Stack
We specialize in bridging federal cybersecurity requirements with established financial security practices.
Here’s how we guide fintechs and finance vendors to NIST 800-171 compliance:
- Map & Gap Analysis We map your current controls (e.g. MFA, data encryption, SOC 2 processes) to NIST 800-171 to uncover what’s already compliant and pinpoint what’s missing.
- Remediation Planning We fill the gaps with solutions designed for financial tech, such as adding federal-specific audit logging, implementing DoD-style incident reporting protocols, or hardening physical and cloud infrastructure.
- Documentation & Readiness We prepare all required documents like your System Security Plan (SSP) and POA&M, getting you ready for federal assessments or contract renewals.
Often, your security posture is already solid we ensure it aligns precisely with what government contracts demand.
