xbasics Ulinzi simplifies the development of FISMA-based Security Controls in an easy to use Windows desktop application. It addresses the first two steps needed for the risk management of federal IT systems according to the NIST Risk Management Framework, the Security Categorization of information and systems (FIPS 199 and NIST SP 800-60) and the development of Security Controls (FIPS 200 and NIST SP 800-53).
xbasics Ulinzi provides you with a lot of flexibility through the use of templates and projects, while helping you stay within the required Standards. All NIST standards and guidelines are already integrated for you to use, modify and extend in accordance to your needs. xbasics Ulinzi not only makes it easy and fast the development of a compliant set of Security Controls, but maximizes your time investment by allowing you to extend and exchange your work throughout the organization. It makes it straight-forward to set up libraries of templates that can be exchanged and reused helping organizations and departments standardize in accordance to their requirements.
| xbasics Ulinzi is free for personal use. Commercial licenses are available through our online store. Before downloading, verify all system requirements/dependencies have been met for the current version. |

Quick Start
There is no need to ever start again from scratch when tasked to develop a compliant
set of Security Controls. Ulinzi contains all the base information you need,
and it is straight forward while flexible. Actually, you don't even need to
search for the relevant NIST documentation if needed, we got you covered on that too.
Direct Implementation of NIST Guidelines and Standards
xbasics Ulinzi directly implements the latest version of all FISMA-based NIST documents
needed to fulfill the two key missions this tool was made for, Security Categorization
and Security Controls. These documents include FIPS 199, NIST SP 800-60 Volume
1, NIST SP 800-60 Volume 2, FIPS 200 and NIST SP 800-53. Ulinzi was designed
and build for the implementation of FISMA Standards and none others.
Sharing and Reuse
xbasics Ulinzi is all about sharing and reuse. It was built from the ground
up with the understanding that time is of essence and there is no need to rebuild
the same wheel every time. All work can be shared, reused and build upon.
There is certainly no limitation based on license or otherwise, and Ulinzi saves
all work in single, flat files that can be easily exchanged and modified.
Ease of Use
Ulinzi is a fully client-based Windows application that does not require any local
or network-based database to operate. It's only external requirement, other than
been installed in a modern personal computer running Windows XP or newer, is the
availability of a Microsoft .NET framework, which will probably be already installed
in your system as part of Windows Updates. It is fast and easy to use from
the get go thanks to its modern interface and design.

The whole point of acquiring and using a piece of software is not to add more time and
complexity to a task. Quite the contrary. Yet, it is not uncommon to find very expensive
software literally requiring a graduate degree to understand it and much less use it for any
real purpose. Common faults lie in poor user interface interface, wrong overall design and,
more frequently, an overall lack of understanding of the problem the application is
meant to resolve by its designers.
xbasics is a limited liability company located in Northern Virginia, USA, and started with the main goal of developing great software in areas we have expertise on, particularly as it relates to FISMA (the Federal Information Security Management Act). Our goal is simple: provide applications that can help users speed up their daily work with the least possible pain. Particularly, when dealing with federal documentation, this is not an easy task to fulfill, yet we are confident xbasics Ulinzi ease a lot of the pain related to the development of Security Controls.
