NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 Common Control Library

Browse 1,193 controls and enhancements across 20 security and privacy families. Use the GovRAMP crosswalk to locate controls referenced by Security Snapshot, Core, and Moderate.

A shared catalog supports common-control planning; designation as a common, hybrid, or system-specific control depends on your organization’s implementation and inheritance decisions.

NIST OSCAL content 5.1.1+u4, retrieved 2026-09-18. GovRAMP Snapshot v1.4 and Core selection from Moderate v1.06 reference the December 2020 Rev. 5 text. Mappings establish exact identifier correspondence, not identical requirements, inherited implementation, or GovRAMP authorization. GovRAMP parameters and additional requirements remain authoritative for each program. Full Moderate, High, and other programs are not mapped here. Withdrawn controls are retained for reference.

AC-9 · Previous Logon Notification

Control statement and discussion

NIST control statement

Notify the user, upon successful logon to the system, of the date and time of the last logon.

Discussion

Previous logon notification is applicable to system access via human user interfaces and access to systems that occurs in other types of architectures. Information about the last successful logon allows the user to recognize if the date and time provided is not consistent with the user’s last access.

Control statement and discussion

NIST control statement

Notify the user, upon successful logon, of the number of unsuccessful logon attempts since the last successful logon.

Discussion

Information about the number of unsuccessful logon attempts since the last successful logon allows the user to recognize if the number of unsuccessful logon attempts is consistent with the user’s actual logon attempts.

Control statement and discussion

NIST control statement

Notify the user, upon successful logon, of the number of [Selection (one): successful logons; unsuccessful logon attempts; both] during [Assignment: time period].

Discussion

Information about the number of successful and unsuccessful logon attempts within a specified time period allows the user to recognize if the number and type of logon attempts are consistent with the user’s actual logon attempts.

AC-9(3) · Notification of Account Changes

View parent control
Control statement and discussion

NIST control statement

Notify the user, upon successful logon, of changes to [Assignment: security-related characteristics or parameters] during [Assignment: time period].

Discussion

Information about changes to security-related account characteristics within a specified time period allows users to recognize if changes were made without their knowledge.

AC-9(4) · Additional Logon Information

View parent control
Control statement and discussion

NIST control statement

Notify the user, upon successful logon, of the following additional information: [Assignment: additional information].

Discussion

Organizations can specify additional information to be provided to users upon logon, including the location of the last logon. User location is defined as information that can be determined by systems, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from which network logons occurred, notifications of local logons, or device identifiers.
