Announcement

NIST's Computer Security Division has completed the initial public draft of Special Publication 800-80, Guide for Developing Performance Metrics for Information Security.

This guide is intended to assist organizations in developing metrics for an information security program. The methodology links information security program performance to agency performance. It leverages agency-level strategic planning processes and uses security controls from NIST SP 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems, to characterize security performance. To facilitate the development and implementation of information security performance metrics, the guide provides templates, including at least one candidate metric for each of the security control families described in NIST SP 800-53.
