NIST stands for National Institute of Standards and Technology – a regulatory agency which developed the technical, management and operational guidelines for securing information systems used by the federal government to implement the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). The guidelines are referred to as NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53 and they maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information systems. Although widely adopted by other government and private entities, the United States Federal Government Agencies and Contractors are required to comply with NIST SP 800-53.
There are 19 NIST security control families which are broken into three classes based on impact:
Low – a data breach would have limited adverse impact
Moderate – a data breach would have serious adverse impact
High – a data breach would have catastrophic adverse impact
Organizations can select the controls that are most applicable to their requirements and impact level.
