The NIST is a key resource for technological advancement and security at many of the country’s most innovative organizations. As such, compliance with NIST standards and guidelines has become a top priority in many high tech industries.

NIST guidance provides the set of standards for recommended security controls for information systems at federal agencies. These standards are endorsed by the government, and companies comply with NIST standards because they encompass security best practices controls across a range of industries – an example of a widely adopted NIST standard is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. NIST standards are based on best practices from several security documents, organizations, and publications, and are designed as a framework for federal agencies and programs requiring stringent security measures.
