Overview

This objective focuses on the process of applying risk management, specifically the authorization process, within the NIST Risk Management Framework. The authorizing official’s role is to review security and privacy information, determine if the risk of operating a system or providing common controls is acceptable, and explicitly accept that risk.

Core Concepts

  • The authorizing official’s acceptance of risk is a key decision point. This acceptance is based on a thorough review of security and privacy information presented in an authorization package.
  • Common controls, inherited by multiple systems, represent a streamlined approach to risk management, but require careful consideration within the system authorization process.
  • Risk tolerance directly influences the level of risk accepted and drives decisions regarding security and privacy controls.

Exam Tips

  • Focus on the authorizing official’s role and responsibilities throughout the authorization process.
  • Understand the purpose and contents of the authorization package – it’s the foundation for risk acceptance.
