NIST - Special Publication 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems, Revision 1
27.07.2006
This review and update cycle will ensure that the security controls listed in the control catalog and the minimum security controls populating the control baselines represent the current state-of-the-practice in safeguards and countermeasures for information systems. The relationship of NIST Special Publication 800-53 to FIPS 200 (i.e., specifying mandatory minimum security requirements and controls) makes this biennial review and update cycle extremely important to federal agencies and contractors providing support to those agencies.
