Program Review for Information Security Assistance PRISMA
PRISMA Review Option 2
The Program Review for Information Security Assistance (PRISMA) project was last updated in 2007; NIST Interagency Report (IR) 7358 and the corresponding PRISMA tool continue to serve as useful resources for high-level guidance and as a general framework, but may not be fully consistent with changes to requirements, standards and guidelines for securing information systems. NIST will review and determine next steps to best support and potentially update the PRISMA content in 2022. For any questions or comments, please contact sec-cert@nist.gov.
Option two of a PRISMA review focuses on the strategic aspects and the technical aspects of the overall information security program.
