National Institute of Standards in Technology Special Publication (NIST SP 800-53, REV. 5) – Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations is a cybersecurity framework provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which is a US government agency. It includes detailed privacy and security-related controls that can be used to manage risk for organizations of any sector and size and all types of systems.
NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 is specifically designed for federal information systems. Compliance with this framework is mandatory for US federal agencies and their contractors that handle sensitive government information. However, compliance with this framework is not mandatory for other organizations, but it is highly recommended for those that handle sensitive personal information, regardless of whether they are a federal agency or a non-federal organization. Complying with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 will not only ensure your organization's compliance with this framework but will also help comply with other regulations such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, etc.
NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 contains a set of controls and enhancements that are organized into 20 families, each focusing on a specific area of security and privacy. The controls and enhancements are designed to provide a comprehensive set of safeguards for all types of computing systems, from general-purpose computing systems to IoT devices.
The controls and enhancements are grouped into three impact levels: low, moderate, and high, based on the potential impact on an organization if the controls are not implemented. The impact levels help organizations to determine the appropriate level of security controls needed for their systems, based on the level of risk associated with the system and the information it handles.
