NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) approved?

Just in case you were asked to see if G-Suite is NIST approved for government/non-profit, etc. use.  This is what I finally found out.

Hey @cnerd thanks for sharing this, could you provide a brief contextual backstory on primary use cases or industries where this would be valuable/pertinent please?

How does this differ from oversight bodies such as IETF and ISO (I'm unfamiliar with NIST) please?

Just an FYI, GoDaddy.com tech support just told me "I just confirmed that either workspace or o365 is not NIST approved"

That is a handy piece of info.

Awesome!

Is there a specific use-case you're developing that required this knowledge, and which you could share some more details about that might help other's in your similar situation in the future?
