NIST Compliance Services
NIST frameworks are the gold standard for enterprise risk management, federal contractor security, and regulated-industry compliance. PTG delivers comprehensive NIST alignment from gap assessments to AI-powered continuous monitoring.
NIST CSF 2.0 and NIST 800-171
Whether you need risk-based cybersecurity management or CUI protection for defense contracts, PTG implements the right NIST framework for your needs.
NIST CSF 2.0
- Six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover
- Tier-based maturity model for measurable security improvement
- Works for any organization regardless of size or sector
NIST SP 800-171
- 110 security requirements across 14 control families for CUI protection
- Required by DFARS 252.204-7012 for all DoD contractors
- Foundation for CMMC Level 2 certification

Organizations That Need NIST
Frequently Asked Questions
What is NIST compliance?
NIST compliance means aligning your cybersecurity practices with frameworks published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, such as NIST 800-171, NIST CSF 2.0, and NIST 800-53. These frameworks provide structured controls for risk management, data protection, incident response, and business continuity planning.
Which NIST framework do I need?
Defense contractors handling CUI need NIST 800-171 (required by DFARS). Organizations seeking a risk-based cybersecurity program should start with CSF 2.0. Federal agencies and FedRAMP providers need 800-53. PTG helps you determine which applies to your situation.
How does NIST relate to CMMC?
CMMC Level 2 maps directly to NIST 800-171. Your NIST implementation is the foundation of your CMMC certification. PTG builds every engagement with CMMC readiness in mind.
Can one NIST implementation satisfy multiple frameworks?
Yes. NIST frameworks map to HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and more. PTG builds unified security architectures rooted in NIST that satisfy multiple compliance obligations simultaneously.
How does PTG use AI for NIST compliance?
PTG integrates AI-powered compliance monitoring into NIST programs, including automated scanning, continuous control validation, real-time risk scoring, and intelligent policy enforcement that keeps your posture strong between assessments.
