What is NIST Compliance Management?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops frameworks that define best practices for safeguarding sensitive information. Originally created to help federal agencies meet the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), NIST standards have become the foundation for strong cybersecurity programs across both the public and private sectors.
One of the most widely recognized frameworks is NIST Special Publication 800-53, which details security and privacy controls for federal information systems. Compliance with NIST 800-53 is mandatory for government agencies, with violations carrying serious penalties. More importantly, non-compliance increases the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.
For organizations, NIST guidelines serve as a trusted blueprint for strengthening defenses, managing risk, and demonstrating due diligence to customers, partners, and regulators. By aligning with NIST, organizations can improve resilience against evolving threats, meet regulatory obligations, and build greater trust with stakeholders.
