FISMA Compliance Overview
Abstract
FISMA is the most important cyber security law affecting U.S. federal agencies and requires a security assessment for all systems that transmit or store government-owned data. FISMA terminology has evolved over the years, but the law has not changed by one word since the day it went into effect. FISMA involves creating various security documentation about the system, and templates streamline the process. Oversight and governance are provided by Inspector Generals. The Department of Homeland Security reports on FISMA metrics annually.
