Pulumi NIST Policy Pack
Enforce compliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) frameworks.
Overview
The Pulumi NIST Policy Pack is a pre-built, managed offering in Pulumi Cloud that helps organizations, particularly U.S. federal agencies and their contractors, adhere to NIST security standards like the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and NIST SP 800-53. It provides a set of policies that map to NIST controls, enabling automated validation of cloud infrastructure to ensure it meets federal security requirements.
