Strategic Solutions for FISMA Compliance

In the 21st Century, data security has become as important to the national defenses as border security. One data breach can result in enormous instability for public-sector departments as well as private-sector businesses. Because of this threat, the United States Congress passed the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) in 2002, providing the framework for securing the federal government's information technology. As a result, many government agencies must implement data security programs based on standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Agencies must also perform ongoing assessments and conduct annual reviews on the effectiveness of their data protection programs. Results have to be reported to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) annually. The report must contain evaluations of information security programs’ effectiveness, along with proof that the agency has developed a coordinated strategy of addressing information security threats.
