FedRAMP Moderate: What It Actually Requires From Your Security Architecture
FedRAMP Moderate maps to roughly 300 NIST 800-53 controls — and FedRAMP 20x is now replacing the old triennial paperwork cycle with continuous evidence.
The FedRAMP Authorization Guide: Paths, Baselines, and Continuous Monitoring
FedRAMP is how cloud products earn the right to sell to U.S. federal agencies. Here's how the authorization paths work, what the NIST 800-53 baselines require, and where your software supply chain gets scrutinized.
FedRAMP and the software supply chain: a 2026 guide
FedRAMP authorization increasingly hinges on how you secure your software supply chain. Here's how the SR control family, SBOMs, and SSDF attestation fit together.
FedRAMP Compliance FAQ: Baselines, 3PAOs, ConMon, and FedRAMP 20x
A precise FAQ on FedRAMP in 2026 — impact baselines, NIST 800-53 controls, the agency authorization path, continuous monitoring, DoD Impact Levels, and the FedRAMP 20x modernization.
NIST SP 800-53 Release 5.2.0: Three New Controls You Cannot Ignore
NIST released SP 800-53 5.2.0 on August 27, 2025 with three new controls focused on patch root-cause analysis, structured logging, and cyber resiliency. Here is what it means for compliance teams.
NIST SP 800-53 control mapping for AppSec
How NIST SP 800-53's SA, RA, and SR control families map to modern AppSec — and where legacy scanners like Veracode leave supply-chain evidence gaps.
NIST Secure Coding Standards: What They Require and How to Meet Them
NIST secure coding standards are not one document but a set of practices spread across SSDF, SP 800-53, and the SAMATE guidance. Here is what each one asks of your team.
NIST 800-53 security and privacy controls overview
A breakdown of NIST 800-53 Rev 5's control families, SBOM and supply-chain requirements, and why scanning tools like Anchore cover only a narrow slice of what compliance demands.
DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF) mapping for container...
How DoD RMF container control mapping actually works, where Anchore's scan-first approach leaves manual crosswalk work for compliance teams, and how Safeguard automates NIST 800-53 evidence.
FedRAMP Meets STIG: Practical Mapping
FedRAMP wants NIST 800-53 Rev 5 controls. DISA STIGs want hardening settings. The mapping between them is what determines whether your authorization package actually clears review.
What is the Principle of Least Functionality
The principle of least functionality (NIST CM-7) means shipping only the ports, services, and code a system needs—nothing extra "just in case."
FISMA and Federal Software Security: Supply Chain Requirements Explained
FISMA's authorization framework creates strict requirements for software in federal systems. Here's how supply chain security fits into the ATO process.
