Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Fisma Compliance

If your organization handles sensitive government information, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) compliance is non-negotiable. We help you meet strict cybersecurity standards so you can protect critical data while focusing on your mission.

What is FISMA
Compliance?

FISMA is a U.S. federal law established in 2002 as part of the Electronic Government Act. It sets the cybersecurity framework for federal agencies and their contractors, ensuring sensitive information and systems are protected from cyber threats.

With R3 as your compliance partner, you’ll navigate the process smoothly and efficiently.

How We
Make It Happen

Key Requirements of FISMA Compliance

Federal agencies and contractors must follow seven core requirements to achieve and maintain compliance:

Maintain an Inventory of Information Systems

Categorize Information and Systems by Risk Level

Conduct Risk Assessments

Create and Maintain a System Security Plan (SSP)

Implement Security Controls

Conduct Annual Security Reviews

Continuously Monitor Information Systems

Keep an updated list of all IT systems, including network boundaries, entry points, and high-risk areas.

Classify each system based on its security risk to prioritize protection for sensitive data.

Identify and assess potential risks, mapping them to security controls to enhance system resilience.

Document cybersecurity controls, policies, and procedures, along with milestones for achieving compliance.

Apply relevant security controls as outlined in NIST guidelines and document them in your SSP.

Perform annual reviews to confirm the effectiveness of security controls and minimize information security risks.

Monitor security controls, document system changes, and conduct regular audits to stay ahead of emerging threats.
