other SDOs
and other NIST standards.

Subject: [sw.assurance] Security and Privacy Controls for Information
Systems and Organizations: NIST Publishes SP 800-53, Revision 5
To: sec-cert <sec-cert at nist.gov>
NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Revision 5, *Security and Privacy
Controls for Information Systems and Organizations*
<https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-53/rev-5/final>*,*
represents a multi-year effort to develop the next generation of security
and privacy controls needed to strengthen and support the Federal
Government and every sector of critical infrastructure. These next
generation controls offer a proactive and systematic approach to ensuring
that critical systems, components, and services are sufficiently
trustworthy and have the necessary resilience to defend the economic and
national security interests of the United States.
The most significant changes to SP 800-53, Revision 5 include:
- *Consolidating the control catalog:* Information security and privacy
controls are now integrated into a seamless, consolidated control catalog
for information systems and organizations.
- *Integrating supply chain risk management:* Rev. 5 establishes a new
supply chain risk management (SCRM) control family and integrates SCRM
aspects throughout the catalog.
- *Adding new state-of-the-practice controls:* These are based on the
latest threat intelligence and cyber-attack data (e.g., controls to support
cyber resiliency, secure systems design, security and privacy governance,
and accountability).
- *Making controls outcome-based:* Rev. 5 accomplishes this by removing
the entity responsible for satisfying the control (i.e., information
system, organization) from the control statement.
- *Improving descriptions of content relationships:* Rev. 5 clarifies
the relationship between requirements and controls as well as the
relationship between security and privacy controls.
- *Separating the control selection processes from the controls:* This
allows the controls to be used by different communities of interest,
including systems engineers, security architects, software developers,
enterprise architects, systems security and privacy engineers, and mission
or business owners.
- *Transferring control baselines and tailoring guidance to NIST SP
800-53B:* This content has moved to the new (draft) *Control Baselines
for Information Systems and Organizations.*
