FISMA requires agencies and contractors to assess and manage risks associated with cloud services, including data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Being FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) compliant is paramount for NZO users operating in the public sector or providing services to government entities. FISMA establishes a framework for information security, risk management, and continuous monitoring to protect sensitive and confidential data based on the NIST 800-53 security standards. Compliance with FISMA ensures NZO implements robust security controls, policies, and procedures to safeguard information systems and data from unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber threats.
By adhering to FISMA requirements, NZO is committed to maintaining government information’s integrity, confidentiality, and availability, fostering trust, and mitigating potential legal and financial risks. Furthermore, FISMA compliance helps NZO enhance its overall cybersecurity posture, promotes best practices, and supports establishing a resilient and secure information infrastructure.
