Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for FISMA?

FISMA requires federal agencies and their contractors to implement comprehensive information security programs based on NIST standards. Compliance is measured through continuous diagnostics and annual reporting to Congress.

1. Security Program Development

We help develop and operate information security programs aligned to FISMA requirements and NIST guidance—including policies, procedures, and technical controls.

2. NIST 800-53 Control Implementation

FISMA relies on NIST 800-53 controls. We implement and operate these controls across federal contractor environments, tailored to system categorization (Low, Moderate, High).

3. Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM)

We support CDM capabilities—asset management, vulnerability management, configuration management, and privilege management—that satisfy FISMA’s continuous monitoring requirements.

4. Annual Reporting Support

We provide the evidence and metrics needed for FISMA annual reporting, including security posture dashboards and control effectiveness measurements.
