What is FISMA?

FISMA, or the Federal Information Security Management Act, is a United States federal law enacted in 2002 aimed at ensuring the protection of information and systems within federal agencies. It sets stringent standards for information security to safeguard the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of sensitive data.

Key Objectives:

  • Risk Management: Implement risk-based policies to mitigate threats.

  • Continuous Monitoring: Ensure ongoing oversight of information systems.

  • Security Controls: Enforce minimum security requirements across federal information systems.

  • Incident Response: Establish procedures for responding to security incidents.

  • Reporting and Accountability: Maintain regular reporting mechanisms and ensure accountability within federal agencies.
