National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce.  NIST aims to promote open systems and interoperability that will spur development of computer-based economic activity.  Part of their mission is to develop, maintain, and issue standards for ensuring the security of sensitive but unclassified information in government computer systems.  In keeping with their mission of standards and policy making for the US Federal Government, NIST has issued various Special Publications (SP) series documents that cover a wide variety of technology.  The main-stay of their publications is known as the 800-Series (or NIST SP 800-XX) which addresses anything from Information Assurance levels and policy compliance, to IT Infrastructure Management and Wireless Network Security.

 

Praetorian Secure has trained and certified experts on staff to assist organizations with translating NIST documentation requirements into implemented policy and solutions.  In working with our clients, integrated as part of their team, we can assist in reducing the cost and complexity that typically accompanies the roll-out of NIST strategies and processes.  We will identify and implement the appropriate Risk Management and Information Assurance program that is compliant with NIST regulations, and ensure all of your organizations assets and services remain secure.
