Polices established by the Senior Agency Official for Privacy (SAOP) contain the definition of PII (9) Maintenance of incident records. 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. 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. 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. 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. I-6 DOE M 205.1-8 1-8-09 4. INCIDENT HANDLING AND REPORTING. Senior DOE Management PCSPs must require operating units to act as follows when a cyber security incident has occurred or is suspected to have occurred (i.e., potential incident). a. Immediately examine and document the pertinent facts and circumstances surrounding the event. b.

DOE M 205.1-8 Appendix A 1-8-09 A-1 (and A-2) 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: a. Indications and warnings (including domestic threats): National Security Agency
