NIST/RMF - Cyber risk control

Overview: NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology - Provides Risk Management Framework (RMF) - Is a framework to reduces security risk to systems and data.

Goals of NIST RMF:

• Consistent and cost effective set of security controls
• Repeatable assessment approach
• Technology neutral
• Implement an efficient risk-based security and privacy program.

Notes:

• Each of these six steps have Special Publications (SP) that are applicable to the area.
• The core document to for RMF is NIST SP 800-37 Revision 2. 
• Used to identify security/pricacy risks at both the operation and system level
