    Study Notes

    Authorization Tasks and Outcomes

    • An authorization package is created and submitted to the authorizing official for review and approval.
    • Risk analysis involves assessing the potential risks associated with the system or common controls to inform decision-making.

    Risk Analysis and Determination

    • The authorizing official conducts a risk determination that aligns with the organization's risk management strategy and tolerance levels.
    • Expected output includes a risk determination report, summarizing identified risks stemming from system operations.

    Risk Response

    • After risks are determined, risk responses are crafted to outline the preferred actions to mitigate the identified risks.
    • Implementation of these responses must be documented to ensure alignment with the overall risk management approach.

    Authorization Decision

    • The authorizing official assesses whether the identified risks are acceptable based on the analysis conducted.
    • Possible outcomes include:
      • Authorization to operate: Approval for the system or control to function.
      • Denial of authorization: Unacceptable risks lead to non-approval for operation or use.

    Authorization Reporting

    • Post-decision, significant vulnerabilities, risks, and authorization outcomes must be communicated to organizational officials for transparency and accountability.
    • This includes a summary of decisions taken regarding system operation authorization and identified risks.

    Final Deliverables

    • The final authorization package should contain an executive summary along with supporting documents, potentially generated from security or privacy management tools.
