NIST 800-171 Policy Template Pack

Stop Starting Your Policies From a Blank Page

Auditors and primes don't just want controls running — they want them written down. For most small contractors, the documentation is the hardest part: dozens of policies, all expected to line up with NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 Level 2.

This free template pack gives you a running start. It's drawn from the same documented security program we operate internally and implement for our clients.

What's in the pack:

• Editable starter templates for the policies assessors expect, including:
  • Access Control
  • Identification & Authentication (passwords and MFA)
  • Incident Response
  • Continuous Monitoring & Vulnerability Management
  • Backup & Recovery
  • Configuration & Change Management
  • Audit & Accountability
  • Risk Assessment
  • Security Awareness & Training
  • Work-From-Home & Removable Media
• Plain-language guidance on what each policy needs to say to map to NIST SP 800-171
• A documentation checklist of the records assessors ask to see (access reviews, training logs, change requests, incident reports)

Who it's for: Small and mid-size defense contractors and suppliers building toward CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 who need their paperwork to match their practices.

Reminder: ADS is an enablement partner, not a C3PAO. These templates help you get ready and stay ready; an independent assessor certifies you. Templates are a starting point — they only count when the controls behind them are actually operating.
