Study Notes
DODI 8510.01 Overview
- The document outlines the Risk Management Framework (RMF) for Department of Defense (DoD) Information Technology (IT).
- It establishes protocols for assessing and managing cybersecurity risks related to DoD IT systems.
Key Oversight Roles
- DoD Chief Information Officer (DoD CIO) oversees RMF implementation and directs cybersecurity risk management.
- Director, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) develops RMF training and awareness products for DoD Components.
- Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) coordinates RMF with Defense Acquisition System processes.
- Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) reviews operational testing plans for cybersecurity evaluation.
Security Management Responsibilities
- Director, National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service (DIRNSA/CHCSS) provides information system security engineering services supporting RMF.
- Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) ensures the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) supports IS and PIT system categorization.
- Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) ensures products and services are evaluated prior to integration into systems.
Documents and References
- Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) document applicable DoD policies, security requirements, and best practices.
- Security Requirements Guides (SRGs) provide general security compliance guidelines.
- DoD Instruction 8500.01 mandates appointment of trained Authorizing Officials (AOs) for all DoD IS and PIT systems.
Risk Management Framework Structure
- The DoD RMF utilizes a three-tiered approach for cybersecurity risk management according to NIST SP 800-39.
- Tier 1 addresses risk management at the DoD enterprise level.
Authorization and Monitoring
- DoD Information Security Risk Management Committee (ISRMC) performs the DoD Risk Executive Function.
- Defense IA Security Accreditation Working Group (DSAWG) resolves authorization issues pertaining to community risk sharing.
- Authorizing Officials (AOs) must monitor system-level Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms).
System Security Planning
- Information System Owners (ISOs) develop and maintain security plans detailing security requirements and controls.
- All DoD IS and PIT systems are required to create a Security Plan outlining security requirements.
RMF Process Steps
- The RMF consists of six steps: Categorize, Select Security Controls, Implement Security Controls, Assess Security Controls, Authorize System, Monitor Security Controls.
- PMs are mandated to conduct periodic reviews and assessments of IS and PIT systems at least annually.
Deployment and Documentation
- Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS) is utilized for posting security authorization documentation.
- Type authorization is used for deploying identical copies of an IS or PIT system.
Vulnerability and Compliance
- The Security Assessment Report (SAR) documents findings of compliance based on assessments by the Security Control Assessor (SCA).
- Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&M) identify remediation tasks for vulnerabilities.
Continuous Monitoring
- The Information Systems Security Manager (ISSM) is tasked with continuously monitoring security-relevant events and configuration changes.
Knowledge Service
- The Knowledge Service (KS) serves as the authoritative source for RMF guidance and DoD RMF policy.
- The Risk Management Framework Technical Advisory Group (RMF TAG) manages KS content and provides authoring support.
