NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 03.15.01: Policy and Procedures Develop, document, and disseminate organization-level policy and procedures for each family of security requirements; review and update on defined frequency.
Maintained by Gerard Blokdyk · Verified against the published standard 31 May 2026 · Control text last updated 21 May 2026 What else in your programme already covers this This control maps to 129 controls across 24 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Other controls in 03.15 PL (Planning) You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 have you already done? NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 03.15.01 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 your existing evidence covers. Hold PCI DSS 4.0 and 69 of 97 NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the PCI DSS 4.0 pair alone.
