FISMA Continuous Monitoring Today
1. “Annual” systems inventory
2. “Annual” testing
3. C&A every “three” years
4. Weaknesses “Quarterly”
5. Train “once a year”
(awareness)

Continuous Monitoring Domains
 All controls are NOT required
 Define your own frequencies of
monitoring controls.
 800-137 provides guidance on
controls by domains

My Tasks
FedRAMP
A government-wide initiative to provide
Federal Agencies
joint authorizations and continuous security
monitoring services
…
• Unified government-wide risk

Top 10 Lessons Learned
1. Identify a pilot group/department to use that represents
a good cross section of your organization
2. Validate systems of record for your data sources
3. Verify data accuracy and “cleanliness” for analysis and
reporting purposes
4. Develop questionnaires that are consumable in less
than 15 minutes
5. Identify common keys for your data source linkages
15
Top 10 Lessons Learned Continued
6. Use Web Services and common data formats as much
as possible (reduce batch jobs)
7. Define your key performance indicators & report metrics
that are trackable automatically
8. Baseline pilot and enterprise deployments & tracking
variances in parallel
9. Request review from peers at other organizations &
form an internal steering committee of key stakeholders
10. Have a backup plan to generate the data manually
should an issue arise with your automated system.
