Federal Agency Security Practices (FASP)

Summary:

The Federal Agency Security Practices (FASP) web site effort was initiated as a result of the success of the Federal CIO Council's Federal Best Security Practices (BSP) pilot effort to identify, evaluate, and disseminate best practices for CIP and security. NIST's Computer Security Division was asked to undertake the transition of this pilot effort to an operational program. As a result, NIST developed this web site.

The FASP web site contains information on:

Agency Policies and Procedures
Public / Private / Academia Practices
Helpful Resources - CIO Pilot BSPs, Implementation Guides, FASP Contacts
List of Frequently Asked Questions

Description:

FASP was developed as a mechanism to provide an easily accessible and useful source of information to Federal employees on effective information security tools and practices. This site posts information technology security practices implemented effectively within an organization.
