== Overview == '''[http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsSPs.html NIST Special Publications]''' are publications from the [[National Institute of Standards and Technology]]. These publications are developed and issued by [[NIST]] as recommendations and guidance documents. For other than [[national security]] programs and systems, federal agencies must follow those NIST Special Publications mandated in a [[Federal Information Processing Standard]]. While federal agencies are required to follow certain specific NIST Special Publications in accordance with [[OMB]] policy, there is flexibility in how agencies apply the guidance. Federal agencies apply the [[security]] concepts and principles articulated in the NIST Special Publications in accordance with and in the context of the agency’s missions, business functions, and environment of operation. Consequently, the application of NIST guidance by federal agencies can result in different [[security]] solutions that are equally acceptable, compliant with the guidance, and meet the [[OMB]] definition of adequate [[security]] for federal [[information system]]s. Given the high priority of [[information sharing]] and [[transparency]] within the federal government, agencies also consider reciprocity in developing their [[information security]] solutions. When assessing federal agency compliance with NIST Special Publications, [[Inspectors General]], evaluators, [[auditor]]s, and assessors consider the intent of the [[security]] concepts and principles articulated within the specific guidance document and how the agency applied the guidance in the context of its mission/business responsibilities, operational environment, and unique organizational conditions.
