SOLUTIONS // NIST 800-171

110 controls, continuously. Not at audit time.

NIST SP 800-171 r3 is the underlying standard for CMMC. 110 controls across 14 families, all continuously validated, evidence captured, drift remediated. PolicyCortex turns r3 into a runtime contract instead of a quarterly spreadsheet.

FAQ

Rev 2 vs Rev 3?

Rev 3 (May 2024) introduced 17 new requirements and reorganized families. PolicyCortex tracks both — cross-walks Rev 2 evidence to Rev 3 controls automatically.

Connection to CMMC?

CMMC L2 directly references NIST 800-171 r3. Same controls, same evidence. PolicyCortex outputs serve both regimes.

Self-assessment vs C3PAO?

Both supported. Self-attestation uses the same evidence; C3PAO assessment uses the OSCAL bundle and auditor ZIP.

What about NIST 800-172?

Enhanced security requirements for high-value assets. Mapped as an L3-overlay on top of the 110 baseline controls.

PROCUREMENT · NEXT STEP

Run r3 as a runtime. Not a spreadsheet.

$15,000 flat for the 30-day pilot. 110 controls baselined and continuously validated, with the package C3PAOs already accept.
