EDIT- The goal is where to start a NIST 800-53 for Dummies Wiki that's crowd sourced
I always tend to think about how overcomplicated the vagueness of NIST 800-53 controls can be and cause unnecessary back and forth between system admins and assessors. I came across this thread for SC-39 ( "Evidence" for SC-39 (Process Isolation) on Windows 2019 : NISTControls (reddit.com) ) where recommendations were made for an example artifact for both Windows and Linux and the control was explained in a real world scenario.
My question is there anything within this channel or github/etc. that provides a dummy downed explanation of each control in actual real world terms and common sense. Think of the old Cliff Notes books that got straight to the point without all the fluff. The forum would also have folks collaborate with example commands/artifacts that are suggested or have been used in the past. Stuff like "Hey for VMWare you can run this command to show SI-16 Memory Protection" or "This is the actual difference between RA-5d and SI-2"
Another control that I struggle with is SI-7 and whenever I go to any of the popular vendors I never get a clear cut example of how to implement it using their product and even more of a challenge of how to prove it other than "I enabled this because it says it implements SI-7"
Example Red Hat ATO Pathways should have the info but it says "Not Available" Product Document (redhatgov.io)
If anyone agrees this provides value to the IT community any ideas of where to host something like this?

I was about to delete the below unfinished rant but am leaving and will say I think your request is a good idea. RANT that should be ignored but made me feel better Ok, I agree, but my problem is the entire thing is unworkable and doomed to fail. Let’s put this in perspective. My AS9100 documentation that controls everything my company does to make space ships space worthy is 1/3 to 1/4 the complexity of this. It controls everything we do to make products. But this system in all its complexity won’t stop someone from gaining access to my network. Someone is going to click on a phishing email and everything is undone. This is a VERY complex bandaid. I’m all in with your request. I need a solution that will make my customers happy and give them warm fuzzies. Our network is currently most likely as hardened as it needs to be (yes we can always improve) but I need a way to show that in terms that everyone understands.

r/sysadmin on Reddit: How many of you are truly, fully NIST 800-53 compliant?
November 18, 2024 -
We run a reasonably secure shop. We've spent years refining and trying to make it better and more secure. A part of that has been starting on a journey to comply with the NIST security recommendations. And man, I've got to say it is HARD to not get overwhelmed with just how much more we have to do. I feel like I would need ten more employees to follow every single policy and recommendation, and that would just be to meet the minimum standards! I think we meet or exceed the important stuff, buy we are certainly not completely there.
How many of you admins out there can claim to be 100% fully compliant with the entire framework (at least all of the items that apply to you're organizations)?

Since SA-1 is the base control for policy and procedures, (might seem obvious 😆) you could ask if there are any policies and procedures in place to regulate acquisitions related to IT resources, are there any cybersecurity reviews of products or services prior to purchase, is cyber or IT involved in the planning, review, approval for purchases that include IT components, is there a review or how do you review the type of data that will be stored in requested assets (e.g. PII, CUI, sensitive information) - is it taken into consideration. In later SA controls, you could ask how cyber and privacy controls are either flowed down to subcontractors or into statement of work/contracts (SA-4). It’s how cyber and privacy controls are implemented throughput the lifecycle of systems and how they’re integrated into organizational acquisition processes - from initial requests, through acquisition planning, purchase, design, implementation, maintenance. Just some thoughts…hope it helps!
