NIST SP 800-53

Use federal standards to secure your organization

Evolve your security and privacy program

The NIST SP 800-53 framework is mandatory for federal systems of the United States and is often adapted and applied by private organizations. Because NIST SP 800-53 requires many controls, knowing where to start can be daunting. Our consultants have deep experience with NIST 800-53 and can help scope, design, implement, document, and assess your NIST SP 800-53 program. From scoping to reviewing, TrustedSec can help organizations at any point in their compliance journey.

  • Scope - Set your program up for success by ensuring proper scoping and baselines for your information assets and systems.
  • Implement - Design and tailor your program to ensure applicability and effectiveness.
  • Document - Build all of the documents you'll need to run and attest to your security program.
  • Review - Assess the effectiveness of your security program by identifying all barriers to full compliance. Recommendations detail ways to meet the intent of identified gaps.
“Weaving risk, group theory, and adaptation with business strategy is one way we stand out.”
Rockie BrockwayDirector of Advisory Innovations
