What is Compliance by Design?
Rather than retrofitting security solutions to meet audit requirements, forward-thinking organizations are building their IT infrastructure with compliance as the foundation. This proactive approach eliminates the costly scramble of implementing disconnected point solutions when audit deadlines loom, instead creating integrated systems where security controls naturally align with regulatory frameworks from day one. By Designing infrastructure around compliance requirements companies achieve stronger security posture and audit readiness as inherent qualities of their systems, not afterthoughts.
How Can Privileged Access Management Help You with FISMA Compliance?
The Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) is U.S federal legislation that requires federal agencies and their contractors to develop, document, and implement comprehensive information security programs to protect government information and information systems. FISMA mandates adherence to NIST frameworks including the Risk Management Framework (RMF), implementation of security controls from NIST SP 800-53, continuous monitoring, and regular security assessments. Organizations must categorize information systems, select appropriate security controls, implement safeguards, assess effectiveness, and maintain ongoing authorization to operate (ATO).
Easy Integration
Admin By Request integrates with Windows, macOS, and hybrid cloud environments without requiring major infrastructure changes. This enables federal agencies and contractors to enhance security control implementation and access management processes without disrupting daily operations or existing FISMA compliance frameworks.
Enhanced Security
Control privileged access through just-in-time elevation, approval workflows, and session time limits. Admin By Request enforces least privilege access principles (AC-6), monitors all privileged activity with comprehensive audit trails (AU-2, AU-12), and helps protect federal information systems from unauthorized access or modification that could compromise mission-critical operations or sensitive government data.
Simple Implementation
Deploy and manage granular access policies at scale using built-in automations. Admin By Request simplifies implementation of NIST SP 800-53 security controls including Access Control (AC), Audit and Accountability (AU), and System and Communication Protection (SC), reducing manual overhead while maintaining consistent policy enforcement across all systems within the authorization boundary.
Continuous Monitoring
Generate comprehensive logs, reports, and dashboards that directly support FISMA continuous requirements and security control assessments. Admin By Request provides verifiable evidence of control effectiveness, access management activities, and security incidents, creating the detailed documentation that authorizing officials and independent assessors require for security authorization and ongoing ATO maintenance.
Risk Mitigation
Eliminate the use of shared administrator accounts and unsecured credentials that introduce security vulnerabilities to federal information systems. Admin By Request issues secure, time-limited privilege elevation with full authentication and logging, reducing risks associated with privileges account compromise and helping demonstrate effective implementation of identification and authentication controls (IA-2, IA-5).
Authorized to Operate Support
By removing standing privileges and securing access pathways to federal information systems, Admin By Request supports key NIST security control families including Access Control (AC), Audit and Accountability (AU), and System and Communication Protection (SC). This reduces security risks while providing measurable security metrics that support Risk Management Framework processes, security control assessments, and the evidence required to obtain and maintain authorization to operate federal information systems.
