NIST Compliance Checklist (CSF 2.0, 800-53, 800-171)

Three Tracks — Pick What Applies

Evidence Reuse Matrix

Attach each artefact to every applicable ID (Subcategory + control + 800-171 requirement). Example: SIEM retention evidence can support CSF Detect, 800-53 AU-family outcomes, and 800-171 audit requirements at once.

How CyberSilo Helps

Compliance Standards Automation keeps one evidence store across tracks; ThreatHawk SIEM feeds Detect and AU-style checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which track do I need?

Private organizations often start with CSF. Federal systems need 800-53 selection. CUI on nonfederal systems under DoD contracts typically needs 800-171 Rev 2 plus SSP/POA&M.

Can one checklist satisfy CMMC?

CMMC Level 2 aligns to 800-171 Rev 2 practices. A multi-track checklist helps, but assessment still follows CMMC and 800-171 evidence rules.

Rev 2 or Rev 3 for 800-171?

CMMC Level 2 still uses Rev 2 today. Track Rev 3 for readiness; do not switch assessment baselines without published rule changes.
