Introduction
Fisma is a law enacted by the federal bill passed in the year 2002 in the form of 2002 Egovernment Act Title 3 (Buenger, 2015)The act recognizes the significance of information

The statute requires every federal agency to develop, document and implement an agency-wide program to offer information security for information systems and information that support the assets and operations of the body.
