NIST 800-171 Compliance Program (NCP) - Annual Subscription for Product Updates
This is a subscription service for existing NIST 800-171 Compliance Program (NCP) clients, who have not skipped one or more years of a subscription, to obtain product updates. Throughout the period of the subscription, you will receive the most current version of the NCP, as it is released to address changes to NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC. The errata will indicate the changes from the previous version. This is a cost-effective method for existing NCP clients to obtain the most current version of the NCP.
- The subscription services entitles the purchaser to 12-months of updates to the NCP.
- The method of delivery of the NCP is email delivery. It includes an errata that describes the additions/changes in the latest version of the documentation.

Upon payment, you will receive an email containing a ShareFile link with the latest version of the NCP.
Includes NIST 800-171 Rev 3 Changes
NIST 800 171 Rev 3 was released on 14 May 2024 and it contains significant changes from the NIST 800-171 Rev 2. As stated by Ron Ross from NIST, the official government requirements from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires organizations to adopt the most current version of NIST one year after its release. From a NIST 800-171 perspective, this means NIST 800-171 Rev3 will be expected to be used for contracts going forward and at that time NIST 800-171 Rev 2 will be deprecated (outdated). Therefore, it is essential for businesses to start now to implement required controls to comply with NIST 800-171 Rev 3.
Seeing is believing when you look at the differences between NIST 800-171 R2 and R3. The new content in R3 is expected to be a heavy lift by many in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), but ComplianceForge's NIST 800-171 Compliance Program (NCP) is an affordable and editable collection documentation templates that can help ease the transition to R3.

What makes the NCP great is that it saves you time and money! The NCP was designed to make it less painful to upgrade to the latest version of NIST 800-171. One of its key features of the NCP is that it is backwards compatible with NIST 800-171 Rev 2, in addition to providing coverage for NIST 800-171 Rev 3. This is beneficial, since you can demonstrate coverage for the current version of NIST 800-171 (Rev 2), while you implement the new controls from NIST 800-171 Rev 3.
