CHAPTER I. REQUIREMENTS
1. INCIDENT MANAGEMENT. This Manual establishes the framework for the DOE
incident detection, warning, and response capability for national security and unclassified
cyber systems. It defines, within DOE, the roles, responsibilities, and required processes
for Department-wide proactive analysis of individual incidents and DOE-wide incidents,
and corrective actions to mitigate or reduce the occurrence of cyber security incidents.
a. Senior DOE Management must address in their PCSPs cyber security incident
management requirements for their operating units, including the minimum
requirements of this Manual and any organization-specific incident management
policies and procedures. At a minimum, the PCSP must address the requirements
of this Manual and define the Senior DOE Management structure and processes
for incident handling, reporting, mitigation, impact assessment, and responding to
DOE-wide cyber security incident-related alerts and DOE Cyber Emergency
declarations.
b. Each Operating Unit must develop and maintain a Cyber Incident Response
Management Plan that details the operating unit’s incident management policies
and procedures. At a minimum, the plan must address the following.
(1) Incident management organization for incident handling and reporting,
including a Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) point of contact, CIRT
Section 6
members, local experts, and the roles and responsibilities of cyber security
incident management personnel. CIRT staff must be available for contact
(on-call or on-site) 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
(2) Cyber security incident mitigation strategies.
(3) Processes, policies, and procedures for detection and analysis,
containment, eradication, recovery and reporting of cyber security
incidents to the DOE-CIRC and management, as required by the PCSP
(4) Processes and procedures for restricting access, testing, or touching, at
DOE-CIRC direction, of any cyber resource identified as part of any on-
going cyber security incident or investigation, aside from automated
filtering or computer network defense devices for network defense.
(5) The Operating Unit’s processes and procedures for assessing and
responding to DOE-CIRC Alerts.

2. EQUIVALENCIES AND EXEMPTIONS. Requests for equivalencies and exemptions
from the requirements of this Manual must be supported with a risk assessment that
identifies the risks to be accepted.
a. Equivalencies. Equivalencies are approved conditions that technically differ from
a requirement in this Manual but afford designated approving authority
(DAA)-approved equivalent levels of protection either with or without
compensatory measures.
(1) Equivalency requests must be submitted in writing to the cognizant DAA
and include detailed description of the requirements and rationale for the
equivalency. The equivalency documentation must be included or
referenced in the system security plan (SSP).
(2) The cognizant DAA will review and approve or disapprove the
equivalency with comments and recommendations in writing.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 205.1-8 I-3
1-8-09
(3) Equivalencies will be approved for no longer than 3 years, can be extended
through request resubmission and must be documented or referenced in the
SSP.
b. Exemptions. Exemptions are approved deviations from a requirement in this
Manual that may create a security vulnerability. Exemptions will be approved
only when correction of the condition is not feasible or cost effective.
(1) Requests for exemptions and supporting documentation must be submitted
in writing by the DAA to the cognizant Senior DOE Manager for review
Section 7
and approval. Documentation supporting the exemption request and
DAA’s acceptance of associated residual risk must identify the
requirements that cannot be met, compensatory measures implemented,
and compensatory measures.
(2) Cognizant Senior DOE Management must review and approve/disapprove
the exemption request and provide a final written decision to the DAA. A
copy of the approved exception must be provided to the DOE CIO.
(3) Approved exemptions will remain in effect no longer than 3 years and
must be documented or referenced in the SSP.
3. INCIDENT CATEGORIZATION AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT. Senior DOE
Management PCSPs must require operating units to document incident management
processes, policies, and procedures to categorize, assess, and mitigate incident impact in
accordance to requirements of this Manual and the applicable PCSP.
a. Identified cyber security incidents must be categorized according to potential
negative impact to information and/or information systems. This categorization is
based on two assigned criteria: Incident Type and Incident Category, as described
below.
b. Incident Types. Cyber security incidents are classified as either Type 1 or Type 2
as described below depending upon the type of security violation.
(1) Type 1 incidents are successful incidents that potentially create serious
breaches of DOE cyber security. The following are defined as Type 1
incidents.
(a) System Compromise/Intrusion. All unintentional or intentional
instances of system compromise or intrusion by unauthorized
persons, including user-level compromises, root (administrator)
compromises, and instances in which users exceed privilege levels.
CANCELE
D
I-4 DOE M 205.1-8
1-8-09
(b) Loss, Theft, or Missing. All instances of the loss of, theft of, or
missing information technology resources, including media that
contains Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI), PII or national
security information.
(c) Web Site Defacement. All instances of a defaced Web site.
(d) Malicious Code. All instances of successful infection or persistent
attempts at infection by malicious code, such as viruses, Trojan
horses, or worms.
(e) Denial of Service. Intentional or unintentional denial of service
(successful or persistent attempts) that affects or threatens to affect
a critical service or denies access to all or one or more large
portions of a network.
(f) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). Any unplanned activity
that adversely affects an asset identified as critical infrastructure.
(g) Unauthorized Use. Any activity that adversely affects an
information system’s normal, baseline performance and/or is not
recognized as being related to an Operating Unit or Senior DOE
Management mission. Unauthorized use includes, but is not limited
to, port scanning that excessively degrades performance; IP
(Internet protocol) spoofing; network reconnaissance; monitoring;
compromised DOE servers; or illegal activities.
(h) Information Compromise. Any unauthorized disclosure of
information that is released from control to entities that do not
require the information to accomplish an official Government
function (e.g., classified on an unclassified network, SUI/PII
transmitted via the Internet unencrypted, etc.).
(2) Type 2 incidents are attempted incidents that pose potential long-term
threats to DOE cyber security interests or that may degrade the overall
effectiveness of the Department’s cyber security posture. The following
Section 8
are the currently defined Type 2 incidents.
(a) Attempted Intrusion. A significant and/or persistent attempted
intrusion that stands out above the daily activity or noise level and
could result in unauthorized access (compromise) if the system
were not protected.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 205.1-8 I-5
1-8-09
(b) Reconnaissance Activity. Persistent surveillance and resource
mapping probes and scans that stand out above the daily activity or
noise level and represent activity that is designed to collect
information about vulnerabilities in a network and to map network
resources and available services. The parameters for collecting and
reporting data on surveillance probes and scans must be
documented.
c. Incident Categories. An impact assessment for each cyber security incident must
be conducted by the Operating Unit to determine the incident category as
described below.
(1) Cyber security incidents are categorized based on an assessment of
potential impact to the confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of
DOE information or an information system and the resulting adverse effect
on DOE operations, assets, mission, or reputation.
(a) Low Incident Category. Loss of system confidentiality, integrity, or
availability could be expected to cause damage to national security
or have a limited adverse effect on DOE operations, assets, or
individuals (other than a PII breach), including loss of secondary
mission capability, requiring minor corrective actions or repairs.
(b) Moderate Incident Category. Loss of system confidentiality,
integrity, or availability could be expected to cause serious damage
to national security or have a serious adverse effect on DOE
operations, assets, or individuals, including significant degradation,
non-life threatening bodily harm, loss of privacy, or major damage,
requiring extensive corrective actions or repairs.
(c) High Incident Category. Loss of system confidentiality, integrity, or
availability could be expected to cause catastrophic effect to
national security or have a severe or catastrophic adverse effect on
DOE operations, assets, or individuals or on assets and information
under DOE purview. The incident could pose a threat to human
life, cause the loss of mission capability, or result in the loss of
major assets.
(d) Very High Incident Category. Loss of system confidentiality,
integrity, or availability could be expected to cause grave damage
to national security.
(2) Incidents involving PII are categorized either moderate or high depending
on the severity of the breach.

APPENDIX A
DOE CYBER EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS
1. DOE Cyber Emergency. A DOE-wide cyber defense response based on the status of
information systems, incident management activities, and intelligence assessments,
especially when DOE-wide actions are required to defend against computer network
attacks and to mitigate wide-spread damage to the DOE information infrastructure.
2. DOE Cyber Emergency Determination. There are broad categories of factors that
influence a DOE Cyber Emergency declaration: operational, technical, and intelligence,
including foreign intelligence and law enforcement intelligence. The DOE Cyber
Emergency declaration is based on significant changes in one or more of these factors.
The following are some of the factors used to assess the need for a DOE Cyber
Emergency declaration. Changes in one or more of these factors may signal a computer
network attack (CNA) or computer network exploit (CNE) and may require a DOE Cyber
Emergency declaration:
Section 12
a. Indications and warnings (including domestic threats): National Security Agency
(NSA) Alerts; National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) advisories, US-
CERT advisories, threats, warnings; law enforcement agency intrusion reports,
etc.
b. CNA/CNE intelligence assessments
c. Current world situation
d. Other alert systems, such as Security Condition (SECON), etc.
e. System criticality and readiness
f. Status of coordination for protection of Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
identified under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7 (HSPD-7), Critical
Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection
g. Incident reports
h. Trend analyses
