Compliance, simplified. Security, clarified.
The NIST Pocket Guide was created to solve a key problem:
🔍 NIST SP 800-53 is powerful but hard to use.
It's a foundational framework for security and privacy controls, but it’s lengthy, technical, and not always easy to navigate—especially for:
- New ISSEs and ISSOs trying to understand implementation.
- Assessors and engineers trying to interpret guidance quickly.
- Teams trying to work offline or on-the-go.
🎯 Purpose of the NIST Pocket Guide
To deliver a lightweight, intuitive, mobile-first reference tool that makes understanding, navigating, and applying NIST SP 800-53 controls fast, clear, and context-rich.
