FISMA -联邦信息安全管理法

What is FISMA:

The United States 联邦信息安全管理法 (FISMA) defines a framework, standards, and guidelines to protect United States Government (USG) sensitive information. FISMA适用于大学研究界, state agencies, entities and service providers including those who use data provided by the federal government.  Universities that have contracts with the US government need to comply with FISMA if the data is regulated.  任何违规行为都可能减少联邦资金或招致其他处罚.

FISMA Compliance:

FISMA defines roles and responsibilities for all agencies and related entities to protect sensitive information from compromise and ensure that compliance requirements of the federal government are met.  Specifically, FISMA requires entities and program officials to perform annual reviews of information security programs. FISMA compliance follows the guidelines and best practices laid out by the National Standards for Information Technology (NIST) standards.  

Resources:

  • NJIT’s Office of Research provides institutional support and services to the research community. This includes pre-award services, post-award management, and research compliance. The Office of Research has experience with FISMA compliance and can provide assistance accordingly. It is the researchers’ responsibility to be aware of FISMA requirements and seek assistance and guidance.
  • FISMA由国土安全部管理. 更改和更新可在 http://www.dhs.gov/fisma.
