Navigating NIST with Confidence

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides essential cybersecurity frameworks and special publications (SPs) designed to help organizations enhance their security posture. Whether you need to align with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) or adhere to specific NIST Special Publications like 800-53, 800-171, 800-30, or 800-161, Latitude ensures that your security program meets the highest industry standards.

Our expert team helps organizations assess, map, and implement NIST controls, reducing risk and improving compliance with federal, healthcare, financial, and other industry regulations.

Our NIST Services

NIST Gap Assessments

We conduct a comprehensive gap assessment to evaluate your security program against the NIST CSF and applicable NIST SPs. Our assessment identifies areas of improvement and provides a clear roadmap to compliance.

Mapping Security Practices to NIST Frameworks

Latitude helps organizations map existing security controls to the appropriate NIST framework, ensuring alignment with:

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) – A flexible risk management framework designed to improve security postures across all industries.
  • NIST 800-53 – Security and privacy controls for federal and non-federal organizations.
  • NIST 800-171 – Required security controls for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
  • NIST 800-30 – A risk assessment framework that helps organizations identify and mitigate cyber risks.
  • NIST 800-161 – Cybersecurity supply chain risk management guidance for organizations handling critical infrastructure and sensitive supply chains.

Latitude works with both large and small companies, providing targeted remediation strategies to streamline the compliance process.

Is my organization required to comply with NIST frameworks?

It depends on your industry and regulatory environment. Organizations that work with the U.S. federal government (such as contractors and suppliers) are often required to comply with NIST 800-171 or NIST 800-53. Additionally, businesses in critical infrastructure sectors (healthcare, finance, energy, and manufacturing) use the NIST CSF as a best practice for cybersecurity risk management.

How Is Latitude Different?

Other firms often serve only large companies or solely government entities. We serve non-government entities of all sizes, and bring our wealth of experience across different industries to create targeted remediation strategies for our clients.

Our Roadmap

Latitude has the team and resources to meet your timeline and budget for NIST compliance. We provide a clear definition of scope, actionable and client-specific remediation plans, and detailed POA&M for any open remediation items.
