Establish Federal-Grade Security with NIST 800-53
NIST SP 800-53 provides the authoritative catalog of security and privacy controls for federal systems and organizations working with government data to manage risk across complex information systems and meet stringent assurance expectations.
Drata helps teams centralize evidence, map controls, and streamline continuous monitoring so they can reduce manual effort, support assessment readiness, and demonstrate trust as security and privacy requirements grow.
Discover the Drata Difference
Align Federal Risk to Control Ownership
Drata links NIST 800-53 requirements to security and privacy risks across systems, programs, and impact levels.
As system categorizations or environments change, teams maintain a current view of risk tied to Low, Moderate, or High baselines, supporting defensible risk decisions during federal assessments and oversight.
Track Vulnerabilities Affecting High-Impact Systems
Drata tracks critical and high vulnerabilities associated with systems mapped to NIST 800-53 controls.
Teams maintain visibility into open findings, remediation timelines, and evidence of resolution, helping prioritize weaknesses that affect high-impact systems and withstand scrutiny during audits and continuous monitoring reviews.
Use AI to Interpret Control Deviations at Scale
Drata AI explains control test issues across NIST 800-53 control families, including when controls behave unexpectedly.
Teams understand what is happening, why it affects Low, Moderate, or High impact systems, and what to review next when preparing for audits, assessments, and continuous federal oversight.
Support Repeated Assessments Without Rework
Drata supports NIST 800-53 with continuously monitored controls and always-current evidence aligned to selected baselines.
Teams maintain visibility into control status throughout the year, reducing reliance on point-in-time assessments and staying prepared for agency reviews, audits, and Inspector General oversight.
