NIST 800-53 EvidenceAI NIST 800-53 evidence provenance and change control

NIST 800-53 Evidence is a Clone skill that tracks where FISMA and NIST SP 800-53 control evidence comes from and applies change control to security artifacts, so evidence stays audit-ready. Compliance manager and IT admin clones use it to document provenance and manage changes to policies, screenshots and configurations. There is no app to connect.

Works out of the box. No app to connect.

Log the new access control policy as evidence for AC-2 and note what changed from the last version.

Logged as AC-2 evidence with its source, owner and date. The change record shows two edits from the prior version, pending approval.

Ask in plain words

No forms, no workflow builder. Ask your clone the way you'd ask a teammate.

“Document where control evidence came from”
“Apply change control to security artifacts”
“Keep FISMA evidence audit-ready”

How it works

  1. 1

    Submit the artifact

    Share a policy, screenshot or configuration record and tell your clone which control it supports.

  2. 2

    Record provenance

    Your clone documents where the evidence came from, who owns it and when it was collected.

  3. 3

    Control every change

    When an artifact changes, it records what changed and tracks approval, keeping prior versions for audit.

Every piece of evidence traced to its source and owner Changes to security artifacts approved and recorded FISMA evidence ready when the assessor asks

NIST 800-53 Evidence: questions

What is NIST 800-53 evidence management?

It is keeping track of the evidence that shows your NIST SP 800-53 controls are in place. With Clone, your clone records where each artifact came from and controls changes to it, so evidence is audit-ready for FISMA.

What is change control for evidence?

It means every change to a security artifact is recorded, reviewed and approved, and prior versions are kept. Assessors can see what changed and who signed off.

Do I need to connect an app?

No. NIST 800-53 Evidence works without a connection. Every clone action is logged, which adds to your own audit trail.

Which clones use NIST 800-53 Evidence?

Compliance manager and IT admin clones use it, usually throughout the year rather than only before an assessment.
