Gap Assessments
It’s important to clearly assess an organization’s FISMA needs and overall requirements, thus undertaking a brief, yet comprehensive gap assessment is absolutely critical. Essential activities for your FISMA gap assessment include the following:
- Determining FISMA scope in regards to the NIST SP 800-53 controls.
- Assessing gaps and control weaknesses that require remediation.
- Determining documentation needs in terms of InfoSec policies and procedures.
- Putting in place a plan-of-action with achievable deliverables and milestones.
We also have years of expertise working with cyber related compliance programs, such as NIST RMF, FBI CJIS, FedRAMP, eMASS/NISP, NIST 800-171, and CMMC.

One of the most demanding and time-consuming aspects of becoming FISMA compliant is documentation, no question about it. Specifically, a large number of information security and operational policies, procedures, and related processes must be in place for FISMA compliance.

Performing a FISMA Security Assessment Report (SAR)
One of the core deliverables for validating FISMA compliance against the NIST SP 800-53 framework is to show proof of an independent assessment. Such an assessment is officially known as a Security Assessment Report (SAR). Centris has years of experience performing SAR audits, which culminates with a detailed assessment report of findings that can be shared with intended parties.

Continuous Monitor Efforts for Annual FISMA Compliance
It’s critically important that your FISMA controls are monitored throughout the year, a concept commonly known as “continuous monitoring”. Centris can assist with these efforts. Specifically, we can regularly test controls, update policies and procedures, provide reporting to management, and much more. No organization wants controls that have failed throughout the year, as this is a recipe for disaster when it comes to ATO re-designation in subsequent years.
"...contractors, or other sources that provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency… must be compliant with FISMA"
