• Mandated by congressional House Resolution H.
R. 2458-48
• "FISMA" is the primary set of regulations regarding the
implementation of various information security measures on
IT systems used by the US Federal Government. FISMA
classifies all Federal IT systems into 3 categories of severity
based on importance: Low, Medium, and High. IT
administrators must then deploy a range of IT security
controls for each system based on which category a system
is placed. The document that lays out the classification levels
and means is FIPS 199 and NIST special publication 800-
53r3 contains the security controls for each security
classification.
