To import these data into a OpenControl project add the follow code to your opencontrol.yaml file.

On 1-APR-2018, the NIST 800-53 standard files were updated to allow OpenControl content authors to specify which revision of NIST 800-53 should be used. There are now three options:

• NIST-800-53 rev3: Legacy NIST 800-53 revision 3 content [nist-800-53-rev3.yaml]
• NIST-800-53 rev4: NIST 800-53 revision 4 content [nist-800-53-rev4.yaml]
• NIST-800-53: Special target that will always point to latest NIST revision upon ratification from NIST. Currently this is rev4, and will automatically transition to rev5 when available. [nist-800-53-latest.yaml]

When creating OpenControl content for components, the standard_key should be updated to reflect which NIST 800-53 content should be used.

For example, for NIST 800-53 rev4:

- control_key: AC-2 (2)
  standard_key: NIST-800-53 rev4
  covered_by: []
  implementation_status: Implemented
  narrative:
    - text: |
        'Your control response text'

And for your content to automatically use the latest revision, use:

- control_key: AC-2 (2)
  standard_key: NIST-800-53
  covered_by: []
  implementation_status: Not applicable
  narrative:
    - text: |
        'Your control response text'
