NIST Risk Management Framework: From a response perspective, the key point that you need to understand about the NIST RMF, and what makes it so revolutionary within the Department of Defense (DoD) and associated organizations, is that risk response starts with steps 4 and 5 of the RMF.This is where authorizing the system (based upon the responsible authority’s acceptance of risk levels) and continuous monitoring take place. To achieve these ends, the RMF encourages automated mechanisms (such as Tenable Security Center and the McAfee Host-Based Security System, for example) to be implemented to support rapid analysis and reporting to management, and for organizations under the mandate of the standard, the RMF establishes a level of accountability and responsibility for the controls selected and implemented within supporting information systems.

Does this describle a Fault- and Event-Tree Analysis – In this situation, after the lack of effectiveness of the control is established, the organization has to look at remediating the situation. We won’t go too much in-depth on remediation here; that’s really the subject of the Risk Response domain that you’ll read about in the next chapter.

The NIST Risk Management Framework has the following steps:  1) Categorize information systems. 2) Select security controls. 3) Implement security controls. 4) Assess security controls. 5) Authorize information systems. 6) Monitor security controls.
