800-171 managed services in Los Angeles help businesses meet the requirements of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) SP 800-171, a cybersecurity standard designed to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal systems. Managed service providers ensure that companies implement the necessary security measures, including access controls, incident response, and data encryption. These services are crucial for Los Angeles-based contractors working with the Department of Defense, as NIST 800-171 compliance is often a precursor to CMMC certification. By outsourcing these services, businesses can focus on operations while maintaining strong cybersecurity.
