Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for NIST 800-53?

NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 provides over 1,000 controls across 20 families. It’s the basis for FedRAMP authorization, FISMA compliance, and an increasing number of state-level requirements.

1. Control Selection and Tailoring

We help select appropriate controls based on your system’s FIPS 199 categorization (Low, Moderate, High) and tailor baselines to your specific organizational context.

2. Technical Control Implementation

We implement and operate the technical controls across all 20 families—from Access Control (AC) through System and Information Integrity (SI)—in the infrastructure we manage.

3. Continuous Monitoring

NIST 800-53 requires ongoing assessment of control effectiveness. We continuously monitor controls, detect drift from approved configurations, and remediate before deficiencies become findings.

4. Assessment Support

We support NIST 800-53A assessments by providing evidence organized by control family, facilitating assessor walkthroughs, and tracking remediation of identified weaknesses.
