FISMA SERVICES

Automate and Strengthen Your FISMA Compliance

Automate, accelerate, and streamline your compliance across federal information security requirements under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA).

FISMA establishes a risk‑based framework to protect government information systems against unauthorized access, disclosure, disruption, or destruction.

Sigma Technology Partners delivers an all‑in‑one cybersecurity and compliance platform that helps federal agencies and contractors manage FISMA requirements through a structured, repeatable, and auditable approach.

Our methodology aligns with FIPS 199 (Security Categorization), FIPS 200 (Minimum Security Requirements), NIST SP 800‑53 (Security & Privacy Controls), and other applicable NIST Special Publications.

With CyberGuard, organizations gain a centralized workspace for assessments, evidence management, authorization support, and continuous monitoring.

  • Structured assessments and NIST‑aligned control mapping reduce manual rework across authorization cycles.
  • Evidence automation and continuous monitoring help teams stay audit‑ready as systems and requirements evolve.

FIPS 199 and NIST RMF alignment

2
  • Perform risk assessments aligned with FIPS 199 and NIST RMF
  • Prioritize remediation efforts based on impact and likelihood
  • Define compliance objectives and timelines

Security Control Evaluation

Design and effectiveness validation

3
  • Assess administrative, technical, and operational controls
  • Validate control design and implementation effectiveness
  • Map controls to NIST SP 800‑53 requirements

Remediation & Improvement

Roadmap and control hardening

4
  • Develop a prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Strengthen weak or missing controls
  • Improve documentation, governance, and processes

Authorization Support

Assessment & Authorization (A&A)

5
  • Support the Assessment & Authorization (A&A) process
  • Prepare security documentation and reporting artifacts
  • Assist with auditor and authorizing official engagements
  • Coordinate security assessment results with authorizing officials

Continuous Monitoring

EVIDENCE AUTOMATION

Link Evidence Once, Reuse Across Controls

Attach evidence once, map it to FISMA controls, and recall it automatically during readiness checks and auditor review.

Preview, replace, update, and remove evidence when it is no longer current to keep packages audit-ready.

EXPORTS

Export Audit-Ready FISMA Packages

CyberGuard.ai creates exportable FISMA audit packages in OSCAL, CSV, Excel, Word, ZIP, and PDF formats.

Packages include mapped controls, linked evidence, and progress status to reduce back-and-forth during review.
