Each phase produces tangible artifacts an assessor (or your prime contractor) can verify. 01 · ASSESS Establish the truth. Scope CUI, inventory assets, score every control, baseline your SPRS number, and produce the first SSP draft. Artifacts produced - CUI data-flow map - Asset & boundary inventory - Initial SSP - Baseline SPRS score - Gap register 02 · BUILD Engineer the controls. Remediate technical gaps with enclave architecture, identity hardening, encryption, logging, and incident-response plumbing — then document everything. Artifacts produced - GCC High / enclave decision - MFA + privileged access - FIPS-validated encryption - SIEM + 90-day logs - POA&M with owners 03 · TRANSFORM Operationalize compliance. Move from project to program: continuous monitoring, annual control testing, vendor oversight, and an executive cadence that keeps you audit-ready year-round. Artifacts produced - Continuous monitoring runbook - Annual control test results - Vendor risk register - Tabletop exercise reports - Quarterly SSP refresh The 14 Families, Simplified ## Translating 110 controls into shop-floor language Every NIST 800-171 control rolls up to one of 14 families. Below: each family in plain English, the operational owner most manufacturers assign, and the highest-leverage moves.

IT Patch SLAs · EDR · email filtering · IOC monitoring The 90-Day Roadmap ## From zero to a defensible SSP in one quarter A pragmatic sequence we run with manufacturers entering the DoD supply chain. Adjust durations to your team's bandwidth — but don't skip the order. Window 1 Days 1–15 ### Scope & inventory - Define the CUI boundary (which systems, which users, which sites). - Build a data-flow diagram showing CUI ingress, processing, storage, and egress. - Produce an authoritative asset inventory (endpoints, servers, network gear, SaaS, OT/IIoT). Window 2 Days 16–30 ### Gap assessment & SPRS baseline - Score every control YES / PARTIAL / NO against NIST 800-171A objectives. - Calculate baseline SPRS score using the DoD scoring methodology (start: -203). - Draft v0.1 of the System Security Plan using the inventory and scoring outputs. Window 3 Days 31–60 ### Quick wins & enclave decision - Enable MFA on all remote access, email, and admin accounts (closes 5+ controls). - Decide enclave strategy: GCC High, on-prem segmented enclave, or sovereign cloud. - Stand up centralized logging with 90-day online / 1-year archival retention. - Roll out FIPS-validated encryption for endpoints and removable media. Window 4 Days 61–90 ### Documentation, POA&M, rehearsal - Lock SSP v1.0 with current state, residual risk, and assessor-readable narrative. - Publish POA&M with named owners, target dates, and a weekly stand-up cadence. - Run an incident response tabletop covering a CUI exfiltration scenario. - Submit refreshed SPRS score and prepare evidence binder for prime / C3PAO review. Audit-Readiness Checklist ## What an assessor (or your prime) will ask for If you can produce these ten artifacts on demand, you're functionally audit-ready. Missing more than three is a near-certain finding. 01 System Security Plan (SSP) Current within 12 months · all 110 controls addressed · CUI boundary defined. 02 Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M) Each open control has a named owner, target date, and status. 03 SPRS score submission Most recent score in the DoD Supplier Performance Risk System. 04 CUI data-flow diagram Visual showing how CUI enters, flows, and leaves the environment. 05 Asset inventory Authoritative list of in-scope endpoints, servers, SaaS, and network gear. 06 Identity & access evidence MFA enforcement reports, privileged access reviews, JML records. 07 Logging & monitoring evidence Sample SIEM dashboards, retention policy, weekly review records. 08 Incident response plan + tabletop Documented IR plan and evidence of an exercise within 12 months. 09 Vendor / supply-chain risk register Flow-down of DFARS clauses to relevant subcontractors. 10 Training records Annual CUI / security awareness completion logs by user. ### Common findings we see - **SSP and reality disagree.** Document the system you actually run, not the one you wish you ran. - **POA&M with no dates.** An undated POA&M reads as "we will never fix this." - **Shared admin accounts.** Each admin needs a unique ID — shared "admin" is an automatic finding. - **Logging without review.** 90-day retention is meaningless if no one reviews the alerts weekly. - **OT systems out of scope.** If a CNC controller touches CUI drawings, it's in scope. Period. ## Frequently asked questions Who is required to comply with NIST 800-171?+ Any non-federal organization that processes, stores, or transmits Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) — including manufacturers anywhere in the DoD supply chain — must comply under DFARS 252.204-7012. How does NIST 800-171 relate to CMMC 2.0?+ CMMC Level 2 maps directly to the 110 NIST 800-171 controls and adds a third-party assessment by a C3PAO. Achieving NIST 800-171 compliance puts you on the runway for CMMC certification. What is a SPRS score and what should it be?+ Your SPRS (Supplier Performance Risk System) score reflects implementation of the 110 controls, ranging from -203 (none) to 110 (all implemented). Primes increasingly require a positive score, and many require 110. Do I need GCC High to comply?+ Not always. GCC High is one path, but a properly segmented on-prem enclave or another FedRAMP-aligned environment can also meet the requirements. The right answer depends on your CUI volume, workflows, and budget. ## Ready for a 30-minute audit-readiness review? We'll walk through your CUI scope, your current SPRS score, and the three controls most likely to cause a finding in your next assessment. No slides, no pitch — just a working session with a senior engineer.
