NIST SP 800-53 (controls) 5.2.0 → 5.2.0

Planning Note (08/27/2025): On August 27, 2025, NIST issued a minor release of SP 800-53 (Release 5.2.0) that includes: New Control/Control Enhancements: SA-15(13), SA-24, SI-02(07) Revisions to Existing Controls: SI-07(12) Updates to Control Discussion: SA-04, SA-05, SA-08, SA-08(14), SI-02, SI-02(05) Updates to Related Controls: All -01 Controls, AU-02, AU-03, CA-07, IR-04, IR-06, IR-08, SA-15, SI-02, SI-07 A list of all the changes in the patch release is available under Supplemental Material. *** Summary of supplemental files: Analysis of updates between 800-53 Rev. 5 and Rev. 4 (Updated 1/07/22) Describes the changes to each control and control enhancement, provides a brief summary of the changes, and includes an assessment of the significance of the changes. Note that this comparison was authored by The MITRE Corporation for the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and is being shared with permission by DNI. Mapping of Appendix J Privacy Controls (Rev. 4) to Rev. 5 Supports organizations using the privacy controls in Appendix J of SP 800-53 Rev. 4 that are transitioning to the integrated control catalog in Rev. 5. Mappings and crosswalks between 800-53 Rev. 5 and other frameworks and standards (NIST Cybersecurity Framework and NIST Privacy Framework; ISO/IEC 27001:2022) Mappings and crosswalks provide a general indication of SP 800-53 control coverage with respect to other frameworks and standards. When leveraging these relationships, consider the scope and intended use of each publication. Do not assume equivalency based solely on relationship tables; mappings and crosswalks are not always one-to-one and relationship analysis can be subjective. Also available: Security and Privacy Control Collaboration Index Template (Excel & Word) The collaboration index template supports information security and privacy program collaboration to help ensure that the objectives of both disciplines are met and that risks are appropriately managed. It is an optional tool for information security and privacy programs to identify the degree of collaboration needed between security and privacy programs with respect to the selection and/or implementation of controls in Rev. 5. OSCAL version of 800-53 Rev. 5 controls Rev. 5 controls are provided using the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL); currently available in JSON, XML, and YAML.
