NIST SP 800-53
Also known as: NIST 800-53
The NIST publication defining the master catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems. The 'parent' of NIST SP 800-171.
NIST Special Publication 800-53, 'Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations,' is the master catalog of security controls that federal agencies use under the Risk Management Framework. The current version (Revision 5) contains over 1,000 controls organized into 20 control families.
NIST SP 800-171 is essentially a tailored, simplified subset of NIST SP 800-53 designed specifically for non-federal systems handling CUI. The 110 requirements in NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 are derived from a moderate-baseline subset of NIST SP 800-53 controls.
