52 This publication provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information 53 systems and organizations to protect organizational operations and assets, individuals, other 54 organizations, and the Nation from a diverse set of threats and risks, including hostile attacks, 55 natural disasters, structural failures, human errors, and privacy risks. The controls are flexible 56 and customizable and implemented as part of an organization-wide process to manage risk. The 57 controls address diverse requirements derived from mission and business needs, laws, executive 58 orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines. Finally, the consolidated 59 catalog of controls addresses security and privacy from a functionality perspective (i.e., the 60 strength of functions and mechanisms provided by the controls) and an assurance perspective 61 (i.e., the measure of confidence in the security or privacy capability provided by the controls). 62 Addressing both functionality and assurance ensures that information technology products and 63 the information systems that rely on those products are sufficiently trustworthy. 64
