NIST Risk Management Framework

Purpose: Select, tailor, and document the controls necessary to protect the system and organization commensurate with risk

Outcomes:

control baselines selected and tailored
controls designated as system-specific, hybrid, or common
controls allocated to specific system components
system-level continuous monitoring strategy developed
security and privacy plans that reflect the control selection, designation, and allocation are reviewed and approved

FIPS 200, Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems

Specifies minimum security requirements for information and systems supporting the executive agencies of the federal government and a risk-based process for selecting the controls necessary to satisfy the minimum security requirements.

NIST SP 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations

Catalog of security and privacy controls for all types of systems and organizations.
The controls are flexible and customizable to meet mission and business needs, and are implemented as part of an organization-wide process to manage risk.

NIST SP 800-53B, Control Baselines for Information Systems and Organizations

Security and privacy control baselines for the Federal Government.
- Three security control baselines (one for each impact level - low-impact, moderate-impact, and high-impact).
- Privacy control baselines applied to systems irrespective of impact level
Provides guidance on tailoring and development of overlays to facilitate control baseline customization for specific communities of interest, technologies, and environments of operation.
