Machine readable cybersecurity compliance standards library for Python, starting with FISMA and NIST Risk Management Framework

A python package extracted from prototype 800-53-Control-Server (https://github.com/govready/800-53-server)

Create a python class that generates basic information about a FISMA 800-53 security control including:

• Full name of control
• Who has responsibility for control (e.g., organization or information system)

This is early code. There may be errors!

• Python 2.7
• xsltproc - to perform XSL transformations
• PyYAML

pip install compliancelib 

To use, simply do in python shell::

>>> import compliancelib >>> c=compliancelib.SecControl("AC-1") >>> c.id 'AC-1' >>> c.title u'ACCESS CONTROL POLICY AND PROCEDURES'
