Legacy System Modernization under NIST SP 800-53

Compliance-aligned legacy system modernization meeting NIST SP 800-53 requirements

Overview

JaMaxwell assesses aging federal IT systems, documents technical debt and compliance gaps, and produces prioritized modernization roadmaps. We decompose monolithic applications into microservices, migrate data from legacy databases to cloud-native stores, replace COBOL and mainframe batch processes with event-driven architectures, and containerize workloads for deployment on FedRAMP-authorized platforms.

NIST SP 800-53 Requirements

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 provides the control catalog that underpins FISMA, FedRAMP, and most federal security programs. The catalog includes over 1,000 controls across 20 families: Access Control, Audit, Security Assessment, Configuration Management, Contingency Planning, Identification and Authentication, Incident Response, Maintenance, Media Protection, Physical Protection, Planning, Personnel Security, Risk Assessment, Systems and Communications Protection, System and Information Integrity, and others. JaMaxwell implements and assesses controls at Low, Moderate, and High baselines.
