NIST Compliance & Governance

Compliance that actually holds up — not just looks good on paper

N-FOSEC helps organizations implement NIST frameworks in a way that works in practice — not just satisfies an auditor. From gap assessment through full framework adoption, every engagement is led by a senior advisor with real-world compliance experience.

The right framework for your organization

Not every organization needs the same approach. We match the framework to your industry, contracts, and risk profile.

Risk management

NIST CSF

The Cybersecurity Framework provides a flexible, risk-based approach to building and improving your security program across five core functions.

Federal contractors

NIST 800-171

Required for organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). The foundation for CMMC compliance and DoD contract requirements.

Best for: Government contractors with CUI
Defense contractors

CMMC

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification — required for DoD contractors. N-FOSEC supports gap assessment and readiness for Level 1 and Level 2 certification.

Best for: DoD supply chain contractors
AI governance

NIST AI RMF

The AI Risk Management Framework helps organizations govern AI systems responsibly — particularly relevant for healthcare, government, and high-stakes applications.

Compliance services, start to finish

We meet you wherever you are — whether you're starting from scratch or preparing for a formal certification.

Gap assessment

A structured comparison of your current security posture against the target framework. Identifies what you have, what you're missing, and what needs remediation before an audit or certification.

Compliance roadmap development

A sequenced implementation plan that moves you from your current state to compliance — with realistic timelines, resource requirements, and milestone tracking.

Policy and documentation development

Framework-aligned security policies, procedures, and supporting documentation — built to satisfy auditors and work in practice for your team.

Controls implementation support

Guidance on implementing the specific controls required by your target framework — including technical, administrative, and physical safeguards.

Audit readiness preparation

Final review, documentation validation, and leadership briefing before a formal audit or certification assessment — so there are no surprises.
