Setting the Gold Standard for FISMA Compliance with NIST 800-53
In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity is critically important, especially for government agencies and organizations that handle sensitive data. The Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) plays a critical role in ensuring the security of federal information and information systems. To achieve FISMA compliance, organizations must adhere to a robust set of policies and procedures outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53. This is where Centris can assist as we are an industry leader in offering FISMA policies and procedures writing services in accordance with NIST 800-53.
Understanding FISMA and NIST 800-53
Before we delve into why Centris is at the forefront of FISMA compliance, let's briefly review the fundamentals of FISMA and NIST 800-53.
FISMA: Ensuring Information Security
FISMA, enacted in 2002 (then amended in 2014), mandates federal agencies and their contractors to secure their information systems. Its primary goal is to protect sensitive government data, ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, and respond effectively to cybersecurity incidents. Compliance with FISMA is not optional; it's a legal requirement.
NIST 800-53: The Blueprint for Compliance
NIST Special Publication 800-53 provides comprehensive guidelines for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective information security controls. It offers a robust framework to meet the security requirements mandated by FISMA. This publication covers a wide range of security controls, from access control to incident response - and much more - and serves as the foundation for federal agency cybersecurity policies.
