What is NIST SP 800-171 and How is it Different From CMMC?
NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-171 sets the cybersecurity standards for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) when handled by civilian contractors working with the federal government.

CMMC introduces maturity levels evaluating implementation quality
Both are required - NIST for CUI, CMMC for DoD contracts
110 security controls across 14 control families
Self-attestation model with SSP and POA&M requirements
Focus on protecting CUI in federal contractor environments
