NIST SP 800-53B

NIST publication defining control baselines for low, moderate, and high impact systems and a privacy baseline.

Definition

SP 800-53B was split from SP 800-53 with Rev. 5 to separate the control catalog from baselines. It also provides tailoring guidance and rationale for baseline allocation.

Example

An ISSO references SP 800-53B to confirm which controls apply to a low-impact system.

Exam tip

Baselines are in 800-53B; the control catalog is 800-53.
