Our NIST 800-53 Assessment Services

NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 5) provides a comprehensive set of security and privacy controls across 20 control families, including Access Control, Audit & Accountability, Incident Response, and System & Communications Protection and is commonly leveraged by government agencies and contractors but is also widely adopted by private organizations to align with recognized security standards.

The framework is complex and prescriptive but is also designed to be flexible, enabling organizations to select and tailor control baselines based on risk, environment, and mission objectives. By mapping to other standards such as FedRAMP®, FISMA, and ISO 27001, NIST 800-53 provides a scalable way to meet multiple regulatory requirements.
