Define CUI Protection Requirements With NIST 800-171
NIST 800-171 establishes recommended security requirements for protecting the confidentiality of Controlled Unclassified Information in nonfederal systems and organizations.
Drata helps teams centralize evidence, map controls, and streamline ongoing monitoring so they can reduce manual effort, support assessment readiness, and demonstrate trust as federal and contractor security expectations increase.

Discover the Drata Difference
Clarify CUI Risk Across Systems and Suppliers
Drata links NIST 800-171 requirements to risks associated with systems and processes that handle Controlled Unclassified Information.
As environments, users, or third parties change, you maintain a current view of where CUI-related risk exists and which controls address it, supporting clearer accountability and defensible assessment discussions.
Analyze Control Test Issues With AI
Drata AI explains control test issues tied to NIST 800-171 requirements, including situations where controls behave unexpectedly.
Teams gain clarity into what is occurring, why it impacts the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information, and what to review next when preparing for self-assessments, SPRS submissions, and government-driven evaluations.
Sustain Continuous Readiness for Assessments
Drata supports NIST 800-171 with continuously monitored controls and always-current evidence aligned to defined security requirements.
Teams maintain visibility into control status throughout the year, reducing reliance on point-in-time self-assessments and staying prepared for government-driven reviews and CMMC-aligned evaluations.
Simplify Preparation for Government Reviews
Drata centralizes evidence, control context, and assessment artifacts related to NIST 800-171 in a single workspace for auditors to review.
You reduce back-and-forth during self-assessments, SPRS-related reviews, and third-party evaluations by presenting consistent, well-organized documentation without disrupting operational teams.
