The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) is a U.S. law that requires federal agencies to develop, document, and implement agency-wide programs to secure the information systems that support the agency’s operations and assets, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other source.  The NIST 800 series of standards is commonly used to define and measure an agency’s compliance with FISMA. Applied Trust has significant expertise in helping organizations evaluate their environments with respect to these standards, as well as in architecting and implementing compliant environments.

Regulations such as FISMA guide organizations in their development and implementation of IT security practices. However, the “alphabet soup” can be confusing, and organizations can become unsure of how to achieve compliance or when standards compliance is compulsory and when it is optional.  Applied Trust can help navigate these waters.
