Compliance with NIST SP 800-171 is mandatory and non-negotiable, and failure to meet the stipulated controls will result in non-conformance. The subcontract nature implies that the prime contractor or government entity expects the awardee to support broader defense information system security objectives through rigorous, documented, and auditable security practices.
