NIST SP 800-* in HPC: Standards That Matter


Workshop: HPC Systems Professionals Workshop (HPCSYSPROS25)

Authors: Robby Rollins (Stanford University)

Abstract: As HPC systems increasingly support sensitive and federally regulated research, frameworks like the NIST Special Publication (SP) 800 series are becoming essential for compliance and data protection. This lightning talk offers a fast-paced overview of the NIST SP 800-* family, highlighting key standards like 800-53, 800-66, 800-171, 800-223, and 800-234, and what they mean for the HPC community. Attendees will gain a high-level understanding of how these standards influence research requirements, cybersecurity expectations, and institutional responsibilities. Whether you're supporting CUI, HIPAA, preparing for CMMC, or looking to stay ahead of compliance trends, this session will help you understand the standards that matter most.
