    Study Notes

    Risk Management Framework (RMF)

    • The Maintenance phase of the RMF is responsible for ensuring that the system maintains its security posture as controls and technology change.

    Ongoing Assessments

    • Continuous Monitoring supports ongoing assessments in the RMF process.

    NIST Documents

    • NIST SP 800-37 defines the Risk Management Framework (RMF).

    RMF Framework

    • The RMF is used for managing cyber security risk for federal government systems throughout their life cycle.

    Categorization Step

    • The purpose of the categorization step in the RMF is to identify the impact level of the system based on the potential impact of a breach.

    Assessment Step

    • The purpose of the assessment step in the RMF is to evaluate the system's security controls to determine their effectiveness.

    Final Step

    • The final step of the RMF is Monitor.
