NIST
1901
What does NIST stand for? It is short for the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
NIST is a body that handles the technology, metrics, and standards used within the technology and science industries.
What is NIST?
What Does NIST Do?
As the body that controls the guidelines that pertain to technology, NIST outlines how data should be protected. This includes providing standards that govern the security measures needed to protect data, as well as shore up the systems and tools used to ensure data safety.
Compliance involves following the NIST guidelines and ensuring that the business remains in compliance as time goes on. This often includes making adjustments as the business’s vulnerabilities shift and as the cybersecurity landscape evolves.
What Is NIST Compliance?
it ensures a more secure infrastructure for the organization. With a strengthened infrastructure, it is more difficult for cyber threats to penetrate and disturb the day-to-day operations of various teams and individuals. Further, an organization with stronger infrastructure is more resilient to successful attacks. Not only does it have the tools to limit the spread of attacks, but the various employees and executives also likely have a better understanding of how the tools impact cybersecurity. This enables greater cooperation around security issues.
For businesses that deal with the U.S. government, NIST compliance is especially important. It opens the way for government contracts that would otherwise be out of reach. Even small companies, when NIST-compliant, can offer a safer business environment that avails them of potentially lucrative deals with the government.
Individual subcontractors who conform to NIST standards can, similarly, qualify to do business with the government. In addition, because they would have stronger data security policies than other subcontractors, other companies may feel more comfortable doing business with them
Benefits of NIST Compliance
Neglecting NIST guidelines can ultimately increase your exposure to cybersecurity breaches, jeopardize your ability to bid on government contracts, harm your corporate reputation, reduce productivity, and otherwise weaken your ability to do business.
