NIST SP 800-53B
- 800-53B "provides a set of baseline security... and privacy controls for information systems and organizations."[1]
- Helps organizations choose an appropriate baseline of security and privacy controls for their system's impact level.
- Defines control impact levels relating to the three components of the CIA Triad using the "high water mark" standard, where the highest-rated component defines the impact level of the entire system.
- Low-impact systems have low impact across the triad
- Moderate-impact systems have at least one component that is rated as moderate, and nothing that is rated high
- High-impact systems have at least one component that is rated as high
