This is an on-paper copy of the NIST Special Publication 800-171 revision 3. It has not been edited other than resized to 8x10 to be more economically printed. Because this book belongs in the Public domain, I am publishing it at little to no profit, as it is not my work. It is the work of the Fine People at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and its creation was funded through U.S. tax dollars. It is priced at roughly a cup of coffee, more than its cost to print and ship, because it took me time to restructure the manuscript and upload it. The protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is of paramount importance to federal agencies and can directly impact the ability of the Federal Government to successfully conduct its essential missions and functions. This publication provides federal agencies with recommended security requirements for protecting the confidentiality of CUI when the information is resident in nonfederal systems and organizations. The requirements apply to components of nonfederal systems that process, store, or transmit CUI or that provide protection for such components. The security requirements are intended for use by federal agencies in contractual vehicles or other agreements established between those agencies and nonfederal organizations. This publication can be used in conjunction with its companion publication, NIST Special Publication 800-171A, which provides a comprehensive set of procedures to assess the security requirements.
