NIST 800-53
NIST Special Publication 800-53 was created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to meet the requirements set by the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). Used by federal agencies, NIST 800-53 provides procedures for protecting the government's sensitive information.
NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 provides a comprehensive catalog of security and privacy controls for information systems and organizations. This guide converts that catalog into an operational handbook: owners, workflows, technical guardrails, parameter settings, metrics, and audit evidence to sustain authorization and ongoing compliance within your boundary and interconnections.
