NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, automated
Track your NIST 800-53 control baseline and evidence, with an agent to do the legwork and a human to sign off.
- Live today
- Cross-mapped with ISO 27001
- Agent-assisted, human-certified
- Encrypted and tenant-isolated
NIST SP 800-53 is the US federal catalogue of security and privacy controls. Diligio Compliance tracks the baseline you select, with controls organised by family and evidence kept current, cross-mapped to your ISO 27001 and SOC 2 work so the overlap is reused.
What NIST 800-53 is
NIST SP 800-53 (Rev. 5) is a large control catalogue, organised into families such as access control, audit, configuration management, contingency planning, and incident response. Federal systems select a baseline (low, moderate, or high) based on the impact level of the system.
It is a control catalogue, not a certification. Federal systems are assessed and authorised under the NIST Risk Management Framework, and 800-53 also underpins the FedRAMP baselines for cloud services.
How Diligio Compliance helps
Controls by family
A control register organised by the 800-53 families, each control with status, owner, proof, and last-reviewed date, scoped to the baseline you select.
POA&M and evidence
Track control weaknesses on a plan of action and milestones, with evidence linked and gaps flagged, so the picture stays current.
An agent that proposes, a human that certifies
Connect your own AI agent to propose evidence and control statuses; a person signs off before anything becomes your stated posture, with a kill switch and an audit trail.
Reuse from ISO 27001 and SOC 2
The controls are cross-mapped to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, so work you have already done carries across instead of being repeated.

Frequently asked questions
Is NIST 800-53 a certification?
No. It is a control catalogue. Federal systems are assessed and authorised under the Risk Management Framework, and cloud services use it through FedRAMP. Diligio Compliance is the tooling that tracks the controls and evidence; it does not grant an authorisation.
How does 800-53 relate to FedRAMP?
FedRAMP baselines are drawn from NIST 800-53, with FedRAMP-specific parameters and a continuous-monitoring obligation. If you are pursuing FedRAMP, the 800-53 control work carries directly across.
Is NIST 800-53 support available now?
Yes. NIST 800-53 is live in Diligio Compliance. Talk to us and we will enable it and scope the baseline that applies to you.
