The final version of the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST)s Special Publication (SP) 800-53 Revision 5 is on the horizon for 2019. There are many draft changes in the fifth revision, but one of the most significant impacts is that it marks a departure from limiting the control sets to federal information systems. The framework is now recommended for all systems in all industries. The full list of changes can be found on the NIST. It’s still important to perform due diligence to determine how the final changes apply in each situation.”]
