FISMA Compliance Automation | CyberSilo

What Is FISMA — and Who Must Comply?

FISMA and NIST CSF are effectively co-mandatory for federal civilian agencies — FISMA provides the statutory authority, NIST SP 800-53 provides control specifics, and the Cybersecurity Framework provides the risk-based performance metrics OMB uses in annual CyberStat reviews. CyberSilo maintains crosswalk mappings between FISMA, NIST SP 800-53, and NIST CSF 2.0 so evidence collected once satisfies all three programmes.

Federal contractors handling CUI must also satisfy NIST SP NIST SP 800-171 and increasingly CMMC compliance 2.0 requirements that trace directly to 800-53 controls. CyberSilo's unified compliance platform produces FISMA annual review artefacts alongside FedRAMP compliance and CMMC evidence from a single dashboard.
