What is the NIST SP 800 Standard?

NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) is a division of the Department of Commerce. The NIST 800 Series consists of a set of standards that define United States federal government information security policies, procedures, and guidelines.

Why Use NIST SP 800 Series Standards?

Organizations that are required to be subject to a contract issued by the US Federal Government are obligated to meet the requirements of the standards. Additionally, organizations outside of the US Federal Government may be required to implement NIST standards in their facilities if they exchange goods and services with US Federal Government organizations, even if they are not under contract. An example of such a standard is SP 800-171, which covers the protection of unclassified information in organizations and systems.

These standards provide a comprehensive study of cost-effective and practical methods for proactively enhancing the security of information technology organizations and infrastructures, as well as guidance in a variety of sectors, including finance, healthcare, economics, manufacturing, transportation, forensics, nanotechnology, physics, chemistry, academia, and national security.

Even if an organization does not exchange products and services with the United States, the NIST SP 800 series of standards can serve as a useful and internationally recognized resource for implementing cybersecurity measures, managing risks, and processing risk controls.
