Concordant offers a robust catalog of security and privacy controls, grounded in the guidelines of NIST 800-53, to help organizations protect their systems and sensitive data. These controls address a broad range of cybersecurity and privacy needs, supporting organizations in building a resilient defense against evolving threats. Adopting the NIST 800-53 framework enables organizations to establish a systematic approach to risk management, protect their critical assets, and meet federal and industry-specific compliance mandates. This comprehensive strategy not only addresses current threats but also positions organizations to respond effectively to future challenges in the cybersecurity landscape.
Identify Applicable Controls
Concordant conducts a thorough analysis of your organization’s infrastructure, operational needs, and regulatory environment to determine which NIST 800-53 controls are most relevant. This includes understanding your organization’s risk profile, system interconnections, and critical data flows to map the appropriate controls that balance security with operational efficiency.
Tailor Controls to Organizational Needs
Recognizing that no two organizations are alike, we adapt NIST 800-53 controls to fit your specific mission, size, and resource constraints. This process includes control selection, scoping adjustments, and the application of overlays to address specialized requirements such as cloud environments, privacy considerations, or high-impact systems.
Implement and Document Controls
Our team ensures the seamless integration of selected controls into your existing processes and technologies. We provide detailed documentation, including system security plans (SSPs), risk assessment reports (RARs), and control implementation statements, to support compliance efforts and streamline audit readiness.
Ongoing Support and Monitoring
Concordant provides continued assistance to maintain compliance as threats, technologies, and standards evolve. This includes periodic reassessments, updates to controls, and integration of continuous monitoring tools to ensure real-time visibility and proactive risk mitigation.
