Build a NIST-aligned cyber programme covering NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF 2.0), NIST 800-53 controls, or NIST 800-171 CUI protection. Codesecure runs gap analysis, control implementation, audit support and ongoing surveillance.
NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology) publishes the most widely used voluntary and mandatory cybersecurity frameworks globally. NIST CSF 2.0 is a risk-based framework usable by any organisation. NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 defines controls used by US federal agencies. NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 / 3 defines requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) protection by non-federal organisations, mandatory for DoD supply chain via CMMC.
Codesecure delivers NIST as a managed programme: framework selection (CSF for general risk management, 800-53 for federal alignment, 800-171 for CUI / CMMC supply chain), gap analysis, control implementation, System Security Plan (SSP) authoring for 800-171, Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) tracking, and audit accompaniment. Our consultants are NIST CSF and 800-171 implementation experienced.
NIST CSF 2.0 has become the global de-facto risk-based framework adopted by Indian enterprises, regulators and even insurance underwriters as a reference. Banks, fintech, energy, healthcare and large enterprises increasingly use CSF to communicate cyber posture to boards and partners. RBI, SEBI and IRDAI guidelines reference NIST themes directly.
For Indian companies serving US federal customers or DoD primes, NIST 800-171 compliance is contractually mandatory under DFARS 252.204-7012 and increasingly enforced via CMMC certification. Without demonstrated 800-171 control implementation and an SSP, you lose US federal supply-chain work. With them, you become eligible for some of the largest sustained contracts globally.
Codesecure's NIST programme covers CSF, 800-53 and 800-171:
NIST consulting fees vary by framework selection and scope. CSF programmes are typically lighter; 800-171 / CMMC programmes are heavier. There is no certification body for CSF or 800-53; CMMC requires a C3PAO assessor for Level 2 certification.
Consulting fee, India
INR 1.5L – 4L+ taxes
Fixed-fee engagement covering framework selection, gap analysis, control implementation support, SSP / POA&M and audit / CMMC pre-assessment accompaniment. C3PAO assessor fees for CMMC Level 2 are separate.

Book Free Strategy CallEvery NIST engagement follows a 5-phase methodology from gap analysis through certification or attestation:
Scoping call, NDA, buyer asks (federal vs enterprise vs board), framework selection: CSF / 800-53 / 800-171.
Current-state assessment against selected framework, current profile vs target profile, prioritised remediation plan.
Hands-on control build across selected families with evidence, policy and procedure authoring.
For 800-171 / CMMC, System Security Plan authoring and Plan of Action and Milestones tracking.
C3PAO pre-assessment for CMMC Level 2 or internal posture review. Annual surveillance and POA&M closure.
Every NIST programme ships with the same audit-ready handoff:
CSF programmes typically complete in 3-4 months. 800-171 / CMMC programmes take 4-6 months. Instant response, no delay, kickoff scheduled same or next business day after scoping.
Scoping, framework selection, gap analysis, current vs target profile.
Control implementation, policy pack, evidence collection workflows.
SSP authoring (for 800-171), POA&M build, internal review.
C3PAO pre-assessment or internal posture review, surveillance handoff.

Schedule Free CallDepends on your driver. NIST CSF 2.0 is best for general risk-based cyber posture and board / buyer communication. NIST 800-53 fits if you need federal-alignment for US government work. NIST 800-171 is mandatory if you process Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) for DoD or US federal customers, and is the basis of CMMC Level 2 certification.
Codesecure consulting fees are typically INR 1.5L-2.5L for CSF posture programmes, INR 2.5L-3.5L for 800-171 / CMMC Level 2 readiness, and INR 3L-4L+ for 800-53 federal-aligned builds. CSF and 800-53 do not have certification bodies. CMMC Level 2 requires a C3PAO assessor, with separate fees typically USD 5K-25K depending on scope.
Released February 2024. Key changes: new Govern function (cyber strategy, roles, policy, supply chain risk) added to the existing Identify-Protect-Detect-Respond-Recover; broader applicability beyond critical infrastructure; tighter alignment with NIST RMF and other frameworks; expanded Implementation Examples and Quick Start Guides.
Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-fee scoped proposal in 24-48 hours under NDA, and start framework selection the same day or next business day after sign-off.
No, 800-171 specifically governs CUI protection for non-federal organisations handling federal information. For US commercial customers, NIST CSF or SOC 2 is usually the right framework. We help you pick during scoping.
CMMC Level 2 is built directly on NIST 800-171. CMMC adds a certification overlay (mandatory third-party assessment for most contracts handling CUI) on top of the 110 / 97 control requirements. A successful 800-171 programme is the foundation for CMMC Level 2 readiness.
Yes, with mapping. NIST 800-53 and CSF map cleanly to ISO 27001 Annex A and SOC 2 Common Criteria. Many of our enterprise clients run combined NIST + ISO 27001 or NIST + SOC 2 programmes to satisfy multiple buyer asks together.
