In this blog, we will cover the various requirements you need to meet to achieve NIST 800-53 compliance, as well as how Sysdig Secure can help you continuously validate NIST 800-53 requirements for containers and Kubernetes.

NIST 800-53 compliance cost implications and consequences Validating compliance is the number one blocker for faster application delivery. Regulators are increasingly enforcing financial penalties for failure to comply. Studies have shown that: Annual cost of non-compliance to businesses runs an average of $14.8 million. The cost of compliance, on the other hand, was found to average $5.5 million. What is the difference between Revision 5 and Revision 4? Among revision 5 changes are: Updates to control descriptions, so instead of centering on the responsible agent, the focus is on the expected outcome. All individual controls are given a distinctive name, and information security and privacy are consolidated as a single goal. Two new families are introduced: âProcessing and Transparencyâ and âSupply Chain Risk Management.â Baseline controls are moved to a new document, NIST SP 800-53B, specific for federal agencies, so other organizations can implement their own baselines. Overall, control count increases from 513 to 1189.
