NIST SP 800-171 Compliance

If you want to keep your existing contracts (and win new ones!) as a DoD contractor, then you need to comply with NIST SP 800-171. 

Protecting Your CUI, Simplified. 

As of March 2019, the DoD has given all associated contractors 18 months to become compliant. If you haven't heard about NIST SP 800-171 compliance, it's high time to pay attention.

The details can be overwhelming at time: with 14 major categories for NIST and over 100 instruction/control points, it's difficult for DoD contractors to stay on top of every requirement. But every private contractor working with the DoD will be subject to an audit, especially those handling CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information).

If you're not compliant, you're not only at risk for losing your current contracts, but you'll be unable to secure any future contracts.

At Peerless, we help government contractors meet compliance regulations to operate effectively and avoid serious security threats.

The Problem

Cybersecurity is not merely a growing threat; it's one that's continuing to grow exponentially. We're on top of breaches daily in our threat response department because hackers continually find more holes in our government's data security.

Our government responds by providing contractor guidelines to protect sensitive information, but it's on each contractor to ensure they meet these standards to protect themselves and the contracts they service.

The Goal

At Peerless, we help businesses prepare for potential breaches, mitigate ongoing risks, and win DoD contracts by completing all required certifications and optimizing preventative operations.

Reliable data security and compliance partnerships help government contractors protect themselves from security threats so they can focus on confidently servicing key contracts and winning new ones.

"I cannot say enough good things about Peerless. We switched to them from a global IT company and the difference has been incredible. Issues that hadn’t been fixed for over a year with the prior company were top priority with Peerless and they were resolved immediately. Any and every issue we ever call with seems to be at the top of their list, making it feel like we are their number one client, where in reality we are probably one of their smaller ones. I love calling and getting a live person. I love that there is a team that knows our setup and can help. James is my go to person and he’s been beyond amazing. He’s on top of any and every issue I ever bring him. I love how honest he is and responsive. This led us to eventually get compliant with Peerless, and the process was nothing short of what we expected!"
