Which pairing correctly matches the SP number with its title as described?

• A. SP 800-83 - Guide to Malware Incident Prevention and Handling
• B. SP 800-70 Rev2 - National Checklist Program
• C. SP 800-66 Rev 1 - HIPAA Security Rules
• D. SP 800-53 - Security and Privacy Controls

Answer: (A)

Understanding the exact titles in the NIST SP 800 series is the key here. The correct match is SP 800-83, which is titled Guide to Malware Incident Prevention and Handling. This pairing is accurate because it reflects the official name of that publication, which focuses on preventing malware incidents and the steps to handle them when they occur.

The other options don’t align with the official titles: SP 800-70 Rev2 is titled National Checklist Program for IT Products (the option omits the “for IT Products”). SP 800-66 Rev 1 is An Introductory Resource Guide for HIPAA Security Rule (singular “Rule” rather than “Rules” and the exact wording differs). SP 800-53 is Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations (the option uses a shortened form).

So, the pairing that matches the official SP title exactly is the malware incident guide.
