The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) SP 800-53 provides a unified information security framework to achieve information system security and effective risk management across the entire Federal Government. In previous articles in this series, Paul J. Brusil summarized the risk management framework and the catalog of security controls offered in SP 800-53. In this last of four articles, Brusil reviews the relationship of Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, Rev. 3 to other standards as well as its suitability for government and non-governmental organizations. Everything that follows is Brusil's work with minor edits.
