NIST 800-53, Tracked Control by Control

NIST 800-53 is the US catalogue of security and privacy controls, organised into control families. Many organisations outside the US use it as a detailed control reference.

What Arbor Does with NIST 800-53

  • All control families loaded
  • Implementation status and owner per control
  • Mapped to your other frameworks so evidence is reused
Module

Information Security

NIST 800-53 lives in the Information Security module.

Arbor AI

No Clause Numbers to Memorise

Arbor AI suggests the NIST 800-53 requirements that apply as you work.

How it works

NIST 800-53 in Four Steps

  1. Load

    NIST 800-53 loads with its full structure, kept up to date by our team.

  2. Set Scope

    Decide what applies and record the reason.

  3. Assess

    Assign owners, score each requirement and link evidence.

  4. Prove

    Close gaps with corrective actions and report with confidence.

Mapping

Do the Work Once for NIST 800-53

Where controls overlap, shared evidence counts toward related frameworks, so nothing is done twice.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NIST 800-53 Kept Up to Date?

Yes. Our team loads NIST 800-53 and updates it when the standard changes.

Can We Import Our Existing NIST 800-53 Assessment?

Yes. Use the Excel template and Arbor checks every row before it loads.

Can NIST 800-53 Share Evidence with Other Frameworks?

Yes. Evidence is uploaded once and linked to every requirement it supports.

Bring your current risk register. We can import it from Excel during the demo, so you see your own risks in Arbor, not ours.
