NIST
has completed the first draft of NIST Special Publication 800-53, Recommended
Security Controls for Federal Information Systems. This draft guideline
provides a recommended set of controls for low and moderate impact systems
(based upon the security categorization definitions in FIPS 199, pre-publication
[pdf]). This guideline, when completed, will stand as NIST interim guidance
until 2005, which is the statutory deadline to publish minimum standards
for all non-national security systems.
