FISMA Certification
The climb to the top starts with FISMA
The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) establishes security guidelines that federal agencies or entities that interact with federal data or information systems, must adhere to. For companies pursuing federal contracts, or that are currently working with a federal agency, compliance with FISMA is essential to properly safeguard the systems and maintain contractual compliance.

Understanding FISMA
In order to comply with the information security requirements of FISMA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology developed Special Publication 800-53 Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations (NIST 800-53). Based on the risk categorization of an organization, NIST 800-53 defines specific controls an organization has to have in place to comply with the standard.
