The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), enacted in 2002 and updated by FISMA 2014, is a U.S. federal law that requires federal agencies and their contractors to develop, document, and implement information security programs to protect government data and systems. It mandates risk-based security controls following NIST standards, regular security assessments, and annual reporting to Congress. Government IT professionals, security compliance officers, and federal contractors must comply with its requirements.
