NIST SP 800-171 applies to any non-federal organization handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) on behalf of federal agencies. Beyond DoD contractors (who need CMMC), many Houston businesses — research organizations, universities, healthcare companies, and professional services firms — handle CUI and must comply with NIST 800-171 requirements.

Our veteran-owned team understands the intersection of technology, compliance, and business operations — delivering practical compliance programs that protect your business without disrupting your operations.

🔒 Technology Overview

NIST 800-171 requires 110 security requirements across 14 control families. SpaceTown IT implements these requirements for Houston businesses: access control, awareness and training, audit and accountability, configuration management, identification and authentication, incident response, maintenance, media protection, personnel security, physical protection, risk assessment, security assessment, system and communications protection, and system and information integrity. Our implementation approach includes a gap assessment against all 110 requirements, prioritized remediation roadmap, implementation of technical controls, System Security Plan (SSP) development, and SPRS score calculation and submission.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶ How long does a compliance implementation typically take?
Timeline depends on your current posture and compliance framework. Most technical control implementations are complete within 30-60 days. Documentation and policy development adds 2-4 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with milestones during the scoping call.
▶ Do you work with our existing legal/compliance counsel?
Yes. SpaceTown IT implements the technical controls and produces the IT documentation. Your legal and compliance counsel handles the legal interpretation and program governance. We work alongside your existing advisors seamlessly.
▶ Can you help us prepare for a regulatory examination or audit?
Yes. SpaceTown IT has extensive experience supporting clients through regulatory examinations, external audits, and compliance assessments. We produce audit-ready documentation and work with examiners directly when needed.
▶ Do you provide ongoing compliance monitoring after initial implementation?
Yes. All compliance implementations are available for ongoing managed compliance monitoring — continuous control testing, monthly reporting, and annual re-assessments. Compliance is not a one-time project.
▶ How do you stay current with changing compliance requirements?
SpaceTown IT monitors regulatory publications, industry guidance, and compliance framework updates continuously. We notify managed compliance clients of material changes and recommend control updates as requirements evolve.
