Step 1 of 4

CAC/PIV

CAC/PIV – Enables CAC PIV login you into your JIRA, Confluence and other Atlassian applications. Adheres to NIST SP 800-53 (REV 4) guidelines and STIG compliance.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Security Posture: Adhering to NIST SP 800-53 (REV 4) guidelines and STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide) compliance ensures a higher level of security for the system or application. These standards provide a comprehensive framework for addressing various security controls, including access control, encryption, audit and accountability, and incident response. By following these guidelines, organizations can strengthen their security posture and reduce the risk of cyber threats and attacks.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Many industries and government agencies require compliance with NIST SP 800-53 and STIG standards to meet regulatory requirements and adhere to best practices in cybersecurity. By implementing these guidelines, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to security and fulfill regulatory obligations, which helps build trust with customers, partners, and regulatory bodies.
  • Risk Mitigation: NIST SP 800-53 (REV 4) guidelines and STIG compliance help organizations identify and mitigate security risks effectively. By following established security controls and configurations, organizations can minimize vulnerabilities and potential security breaches. This proactive approach to risk management not only protects sensitive data and critical assets but also helps organizations avoid costly security incidents and reputational damage associated with breaches and non-compliance.
