NIST (the US National Institute of Standards and Technology) has developed comprehensive security controls that if implemented will help prevent cybersecurity breaches such as ransomware.

Belarc's products monitor many of the technical controls in the NIST documents referenced below. In addition Belarc's system can help in the assessment of some of the non-technical controls to help determine if they are effective for the organization. Because Belarc's data is automatically gathered once per day and stored in a central repository, there is no need to spend time and effort on data calls. Rather the IT security staff can spend their efforts in making proper decisions based on accurate and up-to-date information in their existing repository.

The NIST SP 800-53 controls controls are the overall security and privacy controls for information systems and organizations. SP 800-53B outlines the control baselines for Low, Medium and High risk systems. The SP 800-171 controls are to protect Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in non-federal government systems and organizations.

Our product paper, "Belarc's product mapping to NIST 800-53 rev 5, 800-53B and 800-171 rev 2 controls," goes into more detail.
