Overview[]

This Instruction provides U.S. federal government departments, agencies, bureaus, and offices with a process for security categorization of national security systems that collect, generate, process, store, display, transmit, or receive national security information. In addition, this instruction serves as a companion document to NIST Special Publication 800-53, Revision 3.
