The NIST Pocket Guide Just Got a Major Upgrade – Here’s What’s New
Security and compliance professionals—your favorite mobile reference tool just leveled up. We’re excited to announce a powerful new release of the NIST Pocket Guide app, designed to make navigating NIST SP 800-53 controls faster, smarter, and more intuitive—especially for Pro users.
🚀 What’s New in This Release
We’ve completely reimagined the app’s interface and functionality, giving you more control over how you explore, save, and work with the NIST control catalog.
🔹 Brand New Control Dashboard
A streamlined hub to quickly jump between different views and stay organized.
🔹 Redesigned Navigation Bar + Control List
Now it’s easier than ever to access the full catalog, jump to a specific control family, or flip between different filter views.
🔹 Dedicated Views for:
- ⭐ Favorites – Save the controls you use most.
- 📝 Notes – Quickly jot down implementation notes or questions.
- 🕑 Recents – Return to controls you’ve recently viewed.
- 🧩 Enhancements – Explore control enhancements without the clutter.

📦 Upgraded to OSCAL
Under the hood, we’ve swapped out our legacy dataset and now use the official OSCAL (Open Security Controls Assessment Language) format. This future-proofs the app and allows us to roll out smarter, more dynamic updates moving forward.
🎯 Why This Matters
The NIST Pocket Guide is built for professionals on the go. Whether you’re reviewing SSPs, comparing baselines, or training your team, this app puts a powerful, readable version of the NIST 800-53 controls right in your pocket. This latest update is all about usability—we want to remove friction, reduce fatigue, and give you fast access to what matters most.
💡 What’s Next
This is just the beginning. With OSCAL now in place, upcoming updates will include:
