About 800-171 Evidence

NIST 800-171 has 110 requirements. Each one needs evidence. 800-171 Evidence is a quiet corner of the internet for engineers who document controls: how to gather proof, how to name it, and how to keep it organized.

Short articles. Precise words. Nothing extra.

PolicyCortex is a cloud governance and compliance automation platform. It uses 33 collectors that read live Azure configuration. It connects to Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. It reads live settings such as conditional access, diagnostic settings, Defender posture, backup, and firewall configuration. It checks those settings against NIST 800-53 and NIST 800-171 controls. It turns that evidence into SSP, SAR, and POA&M documents. It re-checks controls after you fix them. It is strongest in commercial Azure.
