Federal Information Security Management Act
(FISMA) Compliance

Ensuring the Integrity, Confidentially and Availability
of Critical Federal Data

The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requires federal agencies to improve the security of IT systems, applications, and databases. FISMA compliance is a matter of national security, and therefore is scrutinized at the highest level of government. Yet FISMA compliance presents significant challenges for federal agencies, and for any organization that deals with federal information. In fact, despite years of effort, most agencies are still struggling to meet the intent of FISMA requirements—protecting federal data. You must successfully identify and classify critical cyber assets, assess risk, and implement adequate security controls on information technology systems and networks, which are increasing in complexity and the constant target of highly sophisticated attacks. To gain control and meet FISMA compliance requires a fully implemented agency-wide information security program.
