FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is NIST compliance?

NIST compliance means aligning your cybersecurity practices with frameworks published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, such as NIST 800-171, NIST CSF 2.0, and NIST 800-53. These frameworks provide structured controls for risk management, data protection, and incident response.

Which NIST framework do I need?

Defense contractors handling CUI need NIST 800-171 (required by DFARS). Organizations seeking a risk-based cybersecurity program should start with CSF 2.0. Federal agencies and FedRAMP providers need 800-53. Petronella helps you determine which applies to your situation.

How does NIST relate to CMMC?

CMMC Level 2 maps directly to NIST 800-171. Your NIST implementation is the foundation of your CMMC certification. Petronella builds every engagement with CMMC readiness in mind.

Can one NIST implementation satisfy multiple frameworks?

Yes. NIST frameworks map to HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and more. Petronella builds unified security architectures rooted in NIST that satisfy multiple compliance obligations simultaneously.

How does Petronella use AI for NIST compliance?

Petronella integrates AI-powered compliance monitoring into NIST programs, including automated scanning, continuous control validation, real-time risk scoring, and intelligent policy enforcement that keeps your posture strong between assessments.
