Our recently released Azure Blueprint for NIST SP 800-171 R2 is now available in Azure Government and commercial clouds.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publishes a catalog of security requirements, Special Publication (SP) 800-171, for federal information systems. Our new NIST SP 800-171 R2 blueprint maps a core set of Azure Policy definitions to specific NIST SP 800-171 R2 requirements.
For US government organizations and others with compliance requirements based on NIST SP 800-171 R2, this blueprint can help you proactively manage and monitor compliance of Azure resources.
The blueprint includes a core set of policies that can be assigned to any Azure architecture that must implement these requirements. When assigned, Azure resources are evaluated by Azure Policy for non-compliance with assigned policies. A requirement or control mapping provides details on policies included within this blueprint and how these policies address various NIST SP 800-171 R2 security requirements.
Assigning the blueprint is easy – sign into the Azure portal, search for Blueprints, create a new blueprint, and select the NIST SP 800-171 R2 blueprint template to get started.
