NIST SP 800-53

NIST SP 800-53 is a set of guidelines created by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organizations secure their information systems. It outlines a catalog of security controls that can be implemented to protect sensitive data from cyber threats. These controls cover various aspects, including access control, incident response, and risk assessment. The aim is to enhance the organization's ability to manage security risks effectively, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Ultimately, it serves as a framework for making informed decisions about cybersecurity practices.
