===SCAP Checklists===
Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) checklists standardize and enable automation of the linkage between computer security configurations and the [[National Institute of Standards and Technology|NIST]] [[NIST Special Publication 800-53|Special Publication 800-53]] (SP 800-53) controls framework. TheSince current{{when|date=February 2016}}2018, version 1.3 of SCAP is meant to perform initial measurement and continuous monitoring of security settings and corresponding SP 800-53 controls. Future versions will likely standardize and enable automation for implementing and changing security settings of corresponding SP 800-53 controls. In this way, SCAP contributes to the implementation, assessment, and monitoring steps of the NIST Risk Management Framework. Accordingly, SCAP forms an integral part of the NIST [http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SMA/fisma/ FISMA] implementation project.
