OSCAL CPRT Catalog Project
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) has a significant and positive impact on organizations that use controls-based approaches to cybersecurity, such as U.S. federal agencies as they address the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA).
In a recent project (case study), CyberESI Consulting Group automated the creation of OSCAL Control Catalogs for all frameworks listed in the NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Reference Tool (CPRT). The resulting OSCAL Control Catalog mappings help OSCAL users express compliance/fulfillment of frameworks that are relevant to their organization.
Through CPRT, these frameworks are available in JSON and Excel) format and often have mapping metadata derived from the NIST Online Informative References Program (OLIR) and other sources.
CyberESI Consulting Group uses the CPRT data, and when available CPRT mapping metadata, to automatically create OSCAL Controls Catalogs and associated mapping files. Those files have been validated as well-formed data formats and valid OSCAL.
