Zero Trust Architecture under FISMA

Compliance-aligned zero trust architecture meeting FISMA requirements

Overview

JaMaxwell implements zero trust architectures aligned with NIST SP 800-207 and OMB M-22-09 requirements. We design and deploy identity-centric access controls, micro-segmentation, continuous authentication, encrypted communications between all endpoints, and real-time threat detection. Implementations integrate with existing agency identity providers, PIV/CAC infrastructure, and ICAM platforms.

FISMA Requirements

FISMA (Federal Information Security Modernization Act) requires federal agencies to implement information security programs based on NIST standards and guidelines. Agencies must categorize systems using FIPS 199, select controls from NIST SP 800-53, implement and assess those controls, authorize systems to operate, and continuously monitor security posture. JaMaxwell supports all phases of the FISMA lifecycle: system categorization, control selection and implementation, security assessment, ATO package preparation, and continuous monitoring with automated scanning and reporting.
