The Space Security: Best Practices Guide (BPG) provides guidance on mission security implementation in the form of principles coupled with applicable controls that cover both the space vehicle and the ground segment. The BPG leverages security controls as defined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53 and serves as a translation guide between NIST verbiage and NASA flight project parlance. The principles are meant to be easily achievable regardless of mission, program, or project size, scope, or whether international, corporate, or university. The principles selected focus on a risk-based approach to mitigating vulnerabilities, that are impediments to mission success. Principles were identified as an initial starting point of critical implementations for missions to consider. The underlying security principles and associated controls were identified through an iterative process to address today’s cyber actors Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) used in attempts to compromise mission capabilities. The guide is to be used as an initial starting point to mitigate against any efforts to deny, degrade, disrupt, deceive, or destroy information and technology used to accomplish NASA mission success.
