NIST Special Publication 800-53 Revision 5 is the authoritative catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems, spanning 20 control families, more than 1,000 controls and enhancements, and requirements for supply chain risk management, privacy, and outcome-based control language. This intermediate course develops the practitioner fluency that federal ISSOs, assessors, and system owners need to select, tailor, implement, and assess the controls that matter most. Participants work through the highest-impact control families, including Access Control, Audit and Accountability, Configuration Management, Incident Response, and System and Communications Protection, building skills in SSP documentation, assessment evidence collection, and POA&M management. This course is the prerequisite for the Advanced course in the NIST 800-53 Controls Bootcamp Package.
