FISMA, the Federal Information Security Management Act, is a U.S. federal law found in Title III of the E-Government Act of 2002. It sets standards to ensure information security in federal agencies, focusing on maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and systems. FISMA is essential for fostering strong cybersecurity practices across the federal government, covering aspects including risk management, security policies, controls, continuous monitoring, incident response, and reporting to enhance security measures within federal agencies.

How Can FacilityOS Help with FISMA Compliance?
The FacilityOS platform has a dedicated module for visitor management which can help organizations, both federal and non-federal agencies, to meet FISMA standards. Having strong security for visitor data, controlling who has access to this data, being ready to respond to incidents and automatically generating reports can aid with FISMA audits and compliance. Having a visitor management solution in place also helps ensure that personal information is well-protected. Being proactive about data protection isn't just for big government agencies – it's helpful for any organization that takes security seriously.
