NIST 800-171 R2 to R3 Transition Guide
Posted by ComplianceForge Support on Aug 14, 2024
Sooner, rather than later, the US Government's global supply chain will have to transition to NIST 800-171 R3. ComplianceForge provides a free resource for organizations migrating from NIST 800-171 R2 to R3. This guide provides an Assessment Objective (AO)-level analysis to address differences:
- Over 1/3 are minimal effort (clear, direct mapping)
- Approximately 1/5 are moderate effort (indirect mapping)
- Approximately 1/2 are significant effort (no clear mapping or new AOs)
This guide also addresses the logical dependencies that exist from "orphaned AOs" that are not in NIST 800-171A R3, but a requirement to demonstrate evidence of due diligence and due care still exists for specific functions (e.g., maintenance operations, roles & responsibilities, inventories, physical security, etc.).
