At CENTRIS, we offer the following FISMA Services:

FISMA Compliance Assessment:

This service involves a comprehensive evaluation of an organization's adherence to the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) requirements. It includes assessing the organization's policies, processes, and technical controls to ensure alignment with the FISMA framework. The assessment may involve reviewing documentation, conducting interviews, and performing technical tests and evaluations.

Risk Management Framework (RMF) Implementation:

CENTRIS assists organizations in implementing the RMF process, which is a structured approach to managing information security risk. This service covers all six steps of RMF, from system categorization to continuous monitoring. It ensures that systems are appropriately assessed and authorized for operation.

Security Control Assessment (SCA):

CENTRIS conducts security control assessments to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in an organization's information systems. This involves evaluating security controls, conducting vulnerability scans, and penetration testing where necessary. The goal is to identify areas that require remediation to enhance security.

Security Documentation Development:

Developing and maintaining critical security documentation is essential for FISMA compliance. CENTRIS creates and updates key documents such as System Security Plans (SSPs), Security Assessment Reports (SARs), and Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms). These documents are vital for demonstrating compliance and tracking security improvements.

Continuous Monitoring Programs:

CENTRIS helps organizations establish continuous monitoring programs to track security controls, assess risk, and ensure ongoing compliance. This involves selecting and implementing monitoring tools, defining monitoring strategies, and reporting on security performance over time.

Security Training and Awareness:

CENTRIS offers training programs and awareness campaigns to educate personnel on FISMA compliance, security best practices, and incident response procedures. Training ensures that employees and contractors understand their roles and responsibilities in maintaining a secure environment.

Security Policy and Procedure Development:

CENTRIS assists organizations in developing, customizing, and maintaining security policies, procedures, and guidelines. These documents are aligned with NIST Special Publication 800-53 and provide the foundation for implementing security controls.

Security Control Selection and Tailoring:

CENTRIS helps organizations select and tailor security controls from the NIST SP 800-53 catalog to meet specific security needs and risk profiles. Tailoring ensures that controls are relevant and effective for the organization's unique environment.

Security Control Remediation:

Identifying security control deficiencies is only part of the process. CENTRIS offers guidance on remediation strategies to address vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. This includes developing corrective action plans and providing recommendations for control improvements.

Third-Party Assessment:

CENTRIS conducts independent third-party assessments and audits to evaluate an organization's security posture objectively. These assessments validate compliance with FISMA requirements and provide an unbiased evaluation of security controls.

FISMA consulting services from CENTRIS are designed to help organizations navigate the complex landscape of federal information security requirements and establish robust cybersecurity practices. By addressing each aspect of FISMA compliance comprehensively, CENTRIS ensures that clients can achieve and maintain compliance with confidence.
