Netwrix helps you comply with NIST SP 800-53
NIST Special Publication 800-53 provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, it is widely used as a baseline for implementing risk management programs. The framework helps organizations select and implement appropriate safeguards to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
NIST SP 800-53 applies to U.S. federal agencies and is often adopted by state governments, critical infrastructure operators, and enterprises seeking to align with federal security standards.
