NIST SP 800-53
Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Processing Systems and Organizations, adopted widely by financial services and insurance organizations
-
Access control and system protection
Venafi manages machine identities, directly supporting access control and system protection aspects of NIST SP 800-53, so only authorized machines and users maintain access to network resources.
-
Automated control of cryptographic keys
Venafi automates cryptographic key lifecycles, aligning with NIST SP 800-53’s emphasis on automated management of security controls.
NIST SP 1800-16
Securing Web Transactions
-
TLS/SSL certificate management
Venafi directly addresses the management of TLS/SSL certificates as prescribed in NIST SP 1800-16, including automated certificate issuance, renewal and revocation.
-
Adherence to cryptographic standards
Venafi ensures the use of strong cryptographic standards in TLS/SSL certificates, another aspect detailed in NIST SP 1800-16.
NIST SP 800-57
Recommendations for Key Management
-
Key lifecycle management
Venafi’s platform automates the generation, use, storage, archival and destruction of cryptographic keys, aligning with NIST SP 800-57 guidance.
-
Policy and practice statements
Compliance with NIST SP 800-57 requires adherence to key management policies and practice statements. Venafi’s solutions enforce and audit key management policies.
NIST SP 800-63
Digital Identity Guidelines
-
Secure communication channels
By managing TLS/SSL certificates according to NIST SP 800-63, Venafi helps establish and ensures that secure communication channels.
-
Identity proofing and authentication
Venafi’s management of TLS/SSL certificates aligns with NIST SP 800-63 guidelines on secure communications, which indirectly supports identity proofing and authentication mechanisms.
