Relationship To Other NIST Documents
( Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information, FIPS 199)

  • NIST SP 800-60, (Guide for Mapping Types of Information and Information Systems to Security Categories) provides guidance for establishing the security categorization for a system’s confidentiality. This categorization will impact the level of assurance an organization should require in making sanitization decisions.
  • FIPS 200, (Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems) sets a base of security requirements that requires organizations to have a media sanitization program.
  • NIST SP 800-53, (Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems) provides minimum recommended security controls, including sanitization, for Federal systems based on their overall system security categorization.
  • NIST SP 800-53A, (Guide for Assessing the Security Controls in Federal Information Systems) provides guidance for assessing security controls, including sanitization, for federal systems based on their overall system security categorization.
