NIST Sp 800-53 Enhanced Security Controls

NIST SP 800-53 Enhanced Controls are additional security controls that are designed to supplement the baseline security controls outlined in the NIST SP 800-53 security control framework. These enhanced controls are designed to provide additional security measures that organizations can use to protect their systems and data from cyber threats. The enhanced controls are divided into three categories: Supplemental, Derived, and Additional. Supplemental controls are designed to supplement existing baseline security controls in order to provide additional protection. Derived controls are derived from existing baseline security controls and provide additional security measures that are tailored to the specific needs of the organization. Additional controls are additional security measures that are not covered by baseline security controls and are designed to provide additional protection. The enhanced controls are designed to provide organizations with the flexibility to tailor their security posture to their specific needs, while still adhering to the security requirements outlined in the NIST SP 800-53 security control framework.
