A catalog of security and privacy controls for protecting systems, organizations, and missions.
Overview
NIST Special Publication 800-53 is a catalog of security and privacy controls for information systems and organizations. The controls help protect operations, assets, individuals, missions, business functions, reputation, and other organizational interests from a wide range of threats.
Organizations select and tailor control families to match their systems and risk. The catalog supports a common way to identify safeguards, document how they are implemented, and assess whether they are working.
