Frequently Asked Questions
How many NIST 800-171 controls does Thales CipherTrust cover?
Thales CipherTrust covers 9 of 110 NIST 800-171 controls (8%), with 2 partially covered and 3 gaps.
Can Thales CipherTrust alone satisfy CMMC Level 2?
No single tool covers all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Thales CipherTrust covers 8% and should be part of a layered security stack addressing the remaining controls.
What controls does Thales CipherTrust not cover?
Thales CipherTrust does not cover controls pe-3-10-1, ra-3-11-1, si-3-14-1. These require supplementary solutions such as physical security controls, additional access management, or media protection tools.
