Where does FISMA Moderate / High fit in a CISO program?
Compliance investments are the program's legibility layer for auditors, regulators, customers, and the board. They do not move risk directly the way EDR or backup do, but they make the rest of the program defensible and they unlock revenue (every enterprise sale runs through a security questionnaire). FISMA Moderate / High pays off in board confidence and customer trust rather than raw posture. In real programs, compliance work also tends to surface latent control gaps — preparing for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 is often the moment a CISO discovers what's actually deployed vs what's been claimed.
