    NIST sets security checkup standards. Federal agencies get their first
    peek
    Monday at proposed guidelines that, by spring, will begin to standardize
    the
    testing of systems security. The National Institute of Standards and
    Technology developed the guidelines, to be posted Monday at
    csrc.nist.gov.
    Special Publication 800-37 lays out instructions for a security checkup.
    It
    is the first in a three-part series designed to bring consistency to
    certifying and accrediting systems security. NIST will accept public
    comments on 800-37 for three months. The second set of guidelines,
    800-53,
    will describe the first-ever minimum-security requirements for federal
    online systems. Source.
