FISMA Compliance with Netwrix
FISMA Compliance with Netwrix
Guidelines for applying Netwrix solutions and products to implement security controls of NIST SP 800-53
FISMA Compliance
Any Federal agency, its subcontractors, service providers and any organizations that operate IT systems on behalf of Federal agencies must be compliant with FISMA
regulation. FISMA was signed into law as a part of the Electronic Government Act of 2002.
FIPS Publication 200, Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems, is a mandatory federal standard developed by NIST in response to
FISMA. To comply with the federal standard, organizations first determine the security category of their information system in accordance with FIPS Publication 199,
Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, derive the information system impact level from the security category in accordance
with FIPS 200, and then apply the appropriately tailored set of baseline security controls in NIST Special Publication 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Federal
Information Systems and Organizations.
Organizations have flexibility in applying the baseline security controls in accordance with the guidance provided in Special Publication 800-53. This allows organizations to
tailor the relevant security control baseline so that it more closely aligns with their mission and business requirements and environments of operation.
FISMA requirements Overview
The minimum security requirements cover seventeen security-related areas with regard to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of federal
information systems and the information processed, stored, and transmitted by those systems.
Netwrix assists with implementation and validation of the selected controls from the following security domains:
Access Control, Audit and Accountability, Security Assessment and Authorization, Configuration Management, Contingency Planning,
Identification and Authentication, Incident Response, Maintenance, Media Protection, Personal Security, Risk Assessment, System and
Communications Protection, System and Information Integrity
Netwrix provides minimal or zero assistance with the following domains:
Awareness and Training, Physical and Environmental Protection , Planning, System and Services Acquisition
Please note that the suggested mechanisms to support compliance efforts for each particular control may vary in different organizations depending on their systems
configuration, internal procedures, nature of business, and other factors. Reports mentioned in one section may be useful for implementation of another control but
may be omitted. The table below is not a complete reference guide for NIST SP800-53 implementation, but a sample mapping that outlines features and capabilities
of Netwrix product and indicates areas of applicability. In order to achieve compliance various additional measures must be applied. For your convenience see
