NIST Risk Management Framework RMF

Risk Management Framework (RMF) - Select Step

At A Glance

RMF Select Step

 

Purpose: Select, tailor, and document the controls necessary to protect the system and organization commensurate with risk
 
Outcomes: 

  • control baselines selected and tailored
  • controls designated as system-specific, hybrid, or common
  • controls allocated to specific system components
  • system-level continuous monitoring strategy developed
  • security and privacy plans that reflect the control selection, designation, and allocation are reviewed and approved

 


Resources for Implementers


FIPS 200, Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems

  • Specifies minimum security requirements for information and systems supporting the executive agencies of the federal government and a risk-based process for selecting the controls necessary to satisfy the minimum security requirements. 

NIST SP 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations 

  • Catalog of security and privacy controls for all types of systems and organizations.
  • The controls are flexible and customizable to meet mission and business needs, and are implemented as part of an organization-wide process to manage risk.

NIST SP 800-53B, Control Baselines for Information Systems and Organizations 

  • Security and privacy control baselines for the Federal Government.
    • Three security control baselines (one for each impact level - low-impact, moderate-impact, and high-impact).
    • Privacy control baselines applied to systems irrespective of impact level
  • Provides guidance on tailoring and development of overlays to facilitate control baseline customization for specific communities of interest, technologies, and environments of operation.
