This Azure-based virtual machine comes pre-configured with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (LVM) image that is hardened to help address the Unclassified Information in Non-federal Information Systems and Organizations (NIST 800-171) compliance needs.

NIST SP 800-171, titled "Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations," is a benchmark standard developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This standard provides guidelines for safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in systems and organizations outside the federal government.

Implementation:

Applicability: NIST 800-171 is applicable to organizations that handle CUI, particularly those working with federal agencies under contracts or agreements.
Compliance: Organizations must implement the security requirements and be able to demonstrate compliance through assessments and audits.
Self-Assessment: Organizations are generally responsible for performing self-assessments and documenting their compliance status.

Benefits of Adopting NIST 800-171:

Enhanced Security: By adhering to these standards, organizations can better protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and breaches.
Federal Contracting: Compliance is often required for federal contractors, making it a key requirement for business with the government.
Risk Management: Helps in identifying and mitigating risks associated with handling sensitive information.

Key Objectives of NIST 800-171:

Protect CUI: Establish requirements for protecting CUI when it's processed, stored, or transmitted by non-federal systems and organizations.
Enhance Security: Provide a set of security requirements and controls to mitigate risks to CUI, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
