Services
Assess Requirements
Organization-specific requirements and objectives for implementing NIST with the determination of systems, processes, and data need to be covered and define your scope.
Assessment and Gap Analysis
Assessment and gap analysis of security controls against NIST 800-53 requirements to identify areas that need improvement and establish a baseline requirement.
Customized Implementation Plan
Tailored implementation plan outlines the specific NIST 800-53 controls, tasks, responsibilities, timelines, and milestones aligned with the organization's goals.
Control Implementation
Control implementation involves technical configuration analysis, policy and procedure development, employee training, and other activities to ensure compliance.
Documentation
Proper documentation is crucial and assists in creating documentation that includes policies, procedures, guidelines, and relevant artifacts for compliance with NIST.
Testing and Validation
Shieldbyte Infosec conducts testing and validation of the implemented controls to ensure they function as intended and provide the desired level of security.
Final Assessment and Reporting
The final assessment validates that all controls are effectively implemented with a comprehensive report of the implementation status, findings, and recommendations.
Post-Implementation Support
Consider if you need ongoing support from the consultant for any maintenance, updates, or additional guidance.
