Description
About the NIST SP 800-53 Security Controls Toolkit
NIST SP 800-53 is the control catalogue that underpins FedRAMP, FISMA and countless agency and contractor security programmes — but a catalogue is not a system until the controls are documented, tailored and assigned. This NIST SP 800-53 Toolkit provides 38 templates covering the security and privacy control-family policies and procedures, the System Security Plan, and the supporting plans for contingency, incident response, configuration and access management that assessors expect. Structured to the 800-53 control families, each document is written so you can tailor a baseline, record control implementation, and trace it to evidence. Everything is editable in Microsoft Office.
NIST SP 800-53 Toolkit Author
Authored by a certified GRC consultant with extensive experience in governance, risk and compliance, this toolkit encapsulates decades of practical expertise in a user-friendly, ready-to-use format. The documents reflect how NIST SP 800-53 baselines are tailored and assessed in real programmes, not just the catalogue text.
Governance Docs have created this pack to comply with NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5, SP 800-53A Rev. 5, SP 800-53B, and the NIST Risk Management Framework (SP 800-37 Rev. 2).
