Frequently Asked Questions

How many NIST 800-171 controls does Tanium cover?

Tanium covers 12 of 110 NIST 800-171 controls (11%), with 2 partially covered and 3 gaps.

Can Tanium alone satisfy CMMC Level 2?

No single tool covers all 110 NIST 800-171 controls. Tanium covers 11% and should be part of a layered security stack addressing the remaining controls.

What controls does Tanium not cover?

Tanium does not cover controls mp-3-8-1, ia-3-5-1, pe-3-10-1. These require supplementary solutions such as physical security controls, additional access management, or media protection tools.
