Updated FISMA Publication Schedule Posted

Editor’s Note:  NIST’s most recent FISMA milestone schedule is attached here.

From: NIST

The NIST FISMA Implementation Project has updated its publications schedule. The schedule (dated August 20, 2012) can be downloaded at: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SMA/fisma/schedule.html.

The modified schedule accounts for the recent changes in publication priorities for SP 800-30, Revision 1 and SP 800-53, Revision 4. The changes also affect the publication schedule for SP 800-53A, Revision 2.

You will note that:

SP 800-30, Revision 1: Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments

  • Publication refocused to address only risk assessments.
  • Publication developed as part of the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative (DOD, ODNI, CNSS, and NIST).
  • Publication priority changed due to request from JTF partners, releasing the publication three months earlier than originally scheduled.

SP 800-53, Revision 4: Recommended Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations

  • Publication developed as part of the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative (DOD, ODNI, CNSS, and NIST).
  • Publication priority changed due to request from JTF partners, delaying publication until after the release on SP 800-30, Revision 1.
  • Publication may be finalized in November 2012 (eliminating FPD), pending final decision by JTF partners.

SP 800-53A, Revision 2: Guide for Assessing the Security and Privacy Controls in Federal Information Systems and Organizations

  • Publication developed as part of the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative (DOD, ODNI, CNSS, and NIST).
  • Publication schedule will be adjusted if SP 800-53, Revision 4, is published (final) in November.

    I have a copy of the 800-53 Revision 4, and am wondering if there is the companion 800-53A, Revision 2 document available (even in draft form). I am tracking Security for my systems, going from a 8500.2 DIACAP compliance to the RMF.

    Any information you have would be greatly appreciated

    Dear Mr. Lucero,

    A tracking copy of SP 800-53A, Rev 2 that shows how it was marked up to produce Rev. 3 has been posted here, http://thecre.com/pdf/800-53-rev3_markup-rev2-to-rev3_updated-may-01-2010.pdf.

    Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

    I have been working with 800-53 Rev 4. What I am looking for is the companion document, 800-53A, Rev 2. Is there a draft document you can make available?
