1. NIST Alignment / Certification Disclaimer
1. NIST Standards Compliance
Our Website follows security and data protection practices aligned with the guidelines provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”). References to “NIST Certified,” “NIST Compliant,” or “NIST-Aligned” signify our good-faith efforts to align with NIST frameworks and recommended controls (e.g., NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171). However, NIST does not provide formal certification for websites, and no statement in these Terms should be construed as an official endorsement, validation, or certification by NIST.
2. Security Controls
While we strive to implement best-practice security controls, no information system is 100% secure. By using our Website, you acknowledge that you understand these inherent risks.
