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.
