Study Notes
System Characteristics
- System characteristics must be thoroughly documented to inform security and privacy requirements.
- Inputs include system design documentation, authorization boundaries, and allocated security/privacy requirements.
- Other factors influence the selection of privacy controls in addition to the RMF Categorize step.
Security Categorization
- A comprehensive security categorization is essential, reflecting the types of information processed by the system.
- Results are documented in security, privacy, and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) plans.
- Categorization must align with enterprise architecture and organizational mission protection commitments.
- Results should also consider the organization's risk management strategy.
Review and Approval Process
- Security categorization results are subject to a formal review process by senior leaders.
- The categorization decision needs approval to validate its alignment with established guidelines.
Expected Outputs
- Impact levels are determined for each information type and each security objective: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
- Security categorization is based on the highest impact level among information types, often referred to as the high-water mark.
- The approval of security categorization signifies the final verification of security measures in place for the system.
