FISMA Compliance Services

InfusionPoints: Deploy FISMA Compliant Solutions
The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) was key in establishing several security standards and guidelines required by Congressional legislation. From this Act, came NIST Publications 800-53, 800-53A, 800-59, 800-37 and FIPS 199 and FIPS 200. The breadth of these standards and guidelines creates a holistic view of security, including personnel and physical security, risk management, incident response and monitoring, just to name a few. However, FISMA provided specific controls and further required department heads of federal agencies to protect information and systems. InfusionPoints applies an integrated methodology that infuses security and privacy controls into mission solutions to meet the FISMA requirements. InfusionPoints provides a wide range of services to meet any organizations FISMA objectives.

  • An Adventure in Cloud Security

    I recently registered for a website hosted by a government agency that handles some of the most sensitive personal information available within U.S. Government. While the site is only a simple scheduling system, imagine my dismay when I received an email confirming my registration that included both my username in password in the email body. That email demonstrates that, despite all of the reported attention to security over the past several years, especially within the Federal Government, we are failing to build an effective information security culture.

  • Google and Business Data Privacy

    As just about everyone who reads the news knows, Google announced on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 that it would merge the data it collects from individual users across all of its properties starting March 1, 2012. Basically, Google will be able to better anticipate how to direct individual user activities to best serve their needs, building a grand database of all user activity and behaviors. The question that few are asking, though, is what the impact will be on businesses. That's where things get really complicated.

    I've always been a strong proponent of the judicious use of strong authentication. Due to the government's push to introduce smart cards (known as HSPD-12), and industry standards like PCI, multi-factor authentication is becoming increasingly common for certain system access scenarios across a wide range of organizations.
