Free EditionFISMA, known as the Federal Information Security Management Act, is a United States federal law enacted in 2002 as part of the E-Government Act. It imposes stringent standards to safeguard the security, confidentiality, and integrity of U.S. federal property and information. Under FISMA, federal agencies are required to ensure the security of information collected or maintained by the agency, as well as the information systems used or operated by the agency itself, or by its contractors or other organizations on its behalf. These laws mandate that federal agencies, along with their contractors, service providers, and organizations operating government IT systems, adhere to specific policies, procedures, and processes to mitigate the constantly evolving data threats.
FISMA mandates federal agencies to develop, document, and implement an information security and protection program.

FISMA requires federal agencies to establish and enforce policies and procedures for user account management. ADManager Plus simplifies user provisioning and deprovisioning tasks by providing a centralized console to create, modify, and disable user accounts. It allows you to streamline user lifecycle management and enforce security policies, such as strong password policies and account expiration settings.
FISMA emphasizes the importance of access controls and least privilege principles. ADManager Plus provides tools to manage user group memberships and access rights within Active Directory. It allows you to create, modify, and delete groups, add or remove members, and manage access permissions for various resources.
FISMA requires regular audits and evaluations of security programs. ADManager Plus provides built-in reports and customizable templates to generate comprehensive reports on user accounts, group memberships, password status, and other critical security parameters. These reports can be used for compliance audits and security assessments.
ADManager Plus provides the ability to track user activity within Active Directory. It tracks user logon and logoff events, account lockouts, password changes, and other user actions. This activity monitoring helps detect and investigate security incidents or unauthorized access attempts, which is crucial for FISMA compliance.
FISMA emphasizes the need for RBAC to control access to sensitive information. ADManager Plus enables you to define granular roles and permissions for administrators, allowing you to enforce the principle of least privilege. You can assign specific privileges to different administrators based on their responsibilities, ensuring proper access control and segregation of duties.
