Frequently Asked Questions

What is NIST 800-171?

NIST SP 800-171 is a set of 110 cybersecurity controls published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that governs how DoD contractors must protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on non-federal systems. Compliance is mandatory for any organization handling CUI under DFARS 252.204-7012, and forms the technical foundation of the CMMC 2.0 framework.

What is the difference between CMMC and NIST 800-171?

NIST SP 800-171 is the technical standard — it defines the 110 security controls you must implement to protect CUI. CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is the DoD's assessment and certification program that verifies you actually have those controls in place. Think of NIST 800-171 as the rulebook and CMMC as the exam. You must implement NIST 800-171 to pass a CMMC assessment.

Is this training CMMC-compliant and does it satisfy NIST 800-171 requirements?

Yes. This 3-hour training satisfies the CUI awareness training requirement under DFARS 252.204-7012, covers all 110 NIST SP 800-171 security controls, and meets CMMC Level 1 & 2 training requirements. Your certificate of completion serves as audit-ready documentation for assessors.

Will I receive a certificate for CUI & NIST 800-171 training?

Yes. Every attendee receives a CUI & NIST 800-171 Certificate of Completion immediately after the session. This certificate documents your training compliance for DFARS 252.204-7012 and CMMC assessments. Private sessions can include branded certificates with your company logo for an additional $100.

What if I can't attend my scheduled CUI & NIST 800-171 session?

You can transfer to any future public CUI & NIST 800-171 session at no charge up to 48 hours before your registered time. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the session.

Can I ask company-specific NIST 800-171 or CUI questions during training?

Absolutely. Every session includes dedicated Q&A time covering your specific CUI handling, NIST SP 800-171 control gaps, and DFARS obligations. For in-depth company-specific guidance, we recommend booking a private session where Carl can address your unique compliance situation.

Do you offer ongoing support after the CUI & NIST 800-171 training?

Yes. All attendees receive 30 days of email support for CUI handling and NIST SP 800-171 follow-up questions. We also offer full NIST 800-171 consulting and CMMC readiness services for companies needing hands-on implementation assistance.

What's the difference between public and private CUI & NIST 800-171 sessions?

Public sessions are scheduled group classes ($795/person) covering CUI & NIST 800-171 fundamentals with DoD contractors nationwide. Private sessions are dedicated to your company only, allowing Carl to focus on your specific NIST 800-171 control gaps, CUI data flows, and CMMC readiness — with custom scheduling and optional recording for internal training use.
