White Papers for Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)

FISMA Quick Start Assessment

Planet Technologies

The implementation of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), as defined in NIST publication 800-53, requires federal agencies to define security policies and procedures, software and hardware configurations, and establish a monitoring and reporting system to demonstrate compliance. Deriving the methodology for an agency to achieve compliance can be a labor intensive and time-consuming task for agencies' IT staffs. Planet Technologies has developed a three-week, fixed cost FISMA Assessment that fulfills the requirement within FISMA for independent annual testing of a representative sample of systems and simultaneously provides task driven weakness mitigation planning that demonstrates a proactive, planned approach to the Inspector General.
