What is NIST?

NIST compliance refers to adhering to the standards and guidelines set forth by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), a U.S. federal agency that develops and promotes standards,
measurements, and technology. NIST compliance typically involves following NIST's guidelines and
recommendations in areas such as cybersecurity, information security, data management, and
technology infrastructure to ensure organizations meet rigorous security and operational standards.
These standards are widely recognized and adopted by various industries and government agencies to
enhance security posture and operational effectiveness.
