Consistent with responsibilities identified in Executive Order (E.O.) 12344, dated February 1, 1982, the Director of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program will ensure consistency through the joint Navy and DOE organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and will implement and oversee all requirements and practices pertaining to this DOE Notice for activities under the Deputy Administrator’s cognizance. 4. REQUIREMENTS. The purpose of risk management is to present a consistent life-cycle approach to managing risks to information and information systems in compliance with applicable laws, statutes, and guidance, including— CANCELE D DOE N 205.10 3 2-19-04 a. • OMB Circular A-130, Management of Federal Information Resources, dated November 2000, Appendix III, Security of Federal Automated Information Resources, and • Public Law (P.L.) 107-347, The E-Government Act of 2002, Title III— Information Security [also known as the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)], dated 12-17-02. These statutes detail a full life-cycle, risk management approach that provides for a cost-effective, threat-based analysis and controls the implementation process. National security systems must be protected according to guidelines of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) (originally dated January 1995 and updated July 1997 and February 2001) and must implement procedures described in DOE M 471.2-2, Classified Information Systems Security Manual, dated 8-3-99. FISMA also defines detailed responsibilities and activities to develop and maintain a full life-cycle, risk-based process for ensuring the secure operation of information systems and national security systems. FISMA §3544(a)(2), Federal Agency Responsibilities, requires the head of each Federal agency to ensure that senior Agency officials establish policies founded on a continuing risk management cycle that includes the need to— • identify, assess, and understand risk; • determine security needs commensurate with level of risk and magnitude of loss that could result from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the Agency; • implement policies, procedures, and controls to adequately and cost effectively reduce risks to an acceptable level; and • test and evaluate the effectiveness of security controls and practices periodically. Risk management is composed of assessment, mitigation, and evaluation and assessment [paragraphs 4d(1)–(3), below]. Each requires a structured process for identifying, analyzing, and reducing the potential impact of risk events cost effectively. The structured process helps DOE staff understand their roles in and responsibilities for managing and containing risks associated with cyber security assets. Risk management is applicable to systems regardless of their stage in the system life-cycle. Implementation. Primary DOE Organizations must implement the requirements and meet the responsibilities defined in this Notice within 90 days of its CANCELE D 4 DOE N 205.10 2-19-04

Section 3

b. issuance. These requirements must be implemented at all organizational levels as required by DOE O 205.1. Requirements and responsibilities will flow down from the heads of Primary DOE Organization to all organizational levels. General Requirements. (1) A uniform risk management process permits managers to— (a) effectively secure DOE general support systems (GSSs) and major applications (MAs); (b) make informed risk management decisions and focus information technology expenditures on mitigating current risk factors; (c) ensure interoperability and portability; and (d) assist in understanding the total operational and residual risk. (2) Management must implement a risk management approach to cyber security for unclassified systems to provide ongoing assurance that information systems are operating as planned under proposed security controls and that risk is maintained at an acceptable level and in a manner consistent with procedures and guidelines set forth in National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication (NIST SP) 800-12, An Introduction to Computer Security: The NIST Handbook, dated October 1995. (3) Strong configuration management and system tests and evaluation must be documented and implemented to maintain acceptable levels of risk. A risk management approach for national security systems is outlined in paragraph 4d, below. c. Determining Levels of Risk. The following requirements are based on law and OMB policy. (1) As part of the risk management process, level of risk must be assessed for each system. Once identified, risk levels are used in selecting appropriate security controls to mitigate risk as described in the following paragraphs. (2) Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS PUB) 199, Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems, February 2004, establishes a framework for determining levels of risk for each of the core security objectives for unclassified information systems: • confidentiality, CANCELE D DOE N 205.10 5 2-19-04 d. • integrity, and • availability. (3) The risk levels as defined in FIPS PUB 199 and shown in Table 1, Categorization of Information and Information Systems, consider both impact and threat as prescribed by FISMA and provide guidance for selection, implementation, and ongoing operational assurance of security controls. Risk Management. To manage risk for unclassified systems, Primary DOE Organizations must use a documented, cost-effective, risk-based approach consistent with procedures and guidelines set forth in NIST SP 800-30, Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems, dated January 2002. This approach includes— • identifying threats and vulnerabilities, • documenting decisions on the adequacy and maintenance of security controls, • determining cost implications of enhanced protection, • accepting residual risk, and • providing continuous monitoring of the system to ensure that controls are performing as required. The major activities for conducting a risk management analysis, as detailed in NIST SP 800-30, are as follows. (1) Risk Assessment. Identify and analyze (quantify) prospective events in terms of probability and consequences/impacts. The following are required elements of risk assessment. (a) Identify and describe each organizational GSS and MA. (b) Assess threats, vulnerabilities, likelihood of adverse actions, and potential consequences.

Section 4

(c) Evaluate security control options and their impacts on risk posture. (d) Develop from findings of those analyses [paragraphs 4d(2)(a)-(c)] a set of security controls. (e) Document decisions made during the assessment. CANCELE D 6 DOE N 205.10 2-19-04 Table 1.

Applies only to unclassified information systems. CANCELE D DOE N 205.10 7 2-19-04 (2) Risk Mitigation. Documented findings from the risk assessment are used as input for the mitigation process. To complete the risk mitigation function, the following actions are required. Use the risk assessment to prioritize actions that will most likely result in maximum risk reduction. (a) Evaluate recommended security controls and select those that provide the greatest level of risk reduction at the lowest cost. (b) Identify appropriate security controls and assign responsibility to those individuals who will implement and maintain those controls. (c) Implement security controls and document the implementation to provide input to the configuration baseline. (3) Evaluation and Assessment. Evaluate risk reduction achieved and continuously monitor the systems to ensure that security controls are functioning as expected. Activities to accomplish this evaluation and to create a feedback process to verify the results of risk assessment and mitigation include verifying that— (a) the first two phases are properly documented and reflected in the GSS baseline; (b) security controls have been or are being implemented; (c) recurring accreditation processes are in place to track the system and schedule appropriate testing and evaluation activities; (d) employees understand their responsibilities; and (e) appropriate awareness and training functions are set up properly. e. Program Cyber Security Plan Requirements. The following will be documented in the plan, as required by DOE O 205.1. (1) Roles and responsibilities of key personnel who incorporate risk management concepts and principles into the environment. (2) Process that will be used to conduct risk management, including risk assessments, risk mitigation, and evaluation and assessment. (NOTE: If the Primary DOE Organization is not using the NIST SP 800-30 process, the replacement process should be described in sufficient detail to show that it is functionally equivalent.)

(3) Capital planning issues related to integrating risk management policies into the environment, including incorporating and funding risk-based CANCELE D 8 DOE N 205.10 2-19-04 f. security controls over the life cycle of individual systems, as required by law. (4) Minimum security controls that are to be expected or enforced based on the level of risk for information systems. (5) Performance measures to indicate the level of risk management requirements implementation across the Primary DOE Organization. Cyber Security Program Plan Requirements. The following will be documented in the plan, as required by DOE O 205.1. (1) Roles and responsibilities of key personnel responsible for risk management strategy, implementation, and maintenance for DOE networks or devices. (2) Specific processes that will be used to complete risk assessment, risk mitigation, and evaluation and assessment functions as detailed in NIST SP 800-30. (NOTE: Exceptions for specific operating environments are to be highlighted, and identification of a functionally equivalent alternative process will be provided.) (3) Specific technical, operational, and management security controls necessary to provide assurance that risk is maintained at an acceptable level. (NOTE: Security controls must be tested to ensure that they continue to operate as intended.) (4) Specific training or support requirements to ensure that personnel understand and support security controls. (NOTE: Training must include individual rules of behavior and consequences for rules violation.) g. Significant Changes. (1) As described in DOE O 205.1 and OMB Circular A-130, Appendix III, significant change may result from the introduction of new technologies or operational procedures into information systems; for example, incorporating wireless devices or networks into a wired legacy information system. (2) When introduction of new technology or procedures causes a significant change in the level of risk, system level security plans must be updated to reflect the increased risk, the risk mitigation techniques, and methods to be used. If introducing new technologies or processes increases level of risk, existing authorizations to process for that system or application (for example, certification and accreditation) are invalidated. CANCELE D DOE N 205.10 9 2-19-04 (3) According to OMB Circular A-130, Appendix III, a management official must authorize in writing the use of a system based on implementation of its security plan before beginning operations or when a significant change occurs. (4) Owners and operators of interconnected applications and systems must be notified of significant changes that can impact their interconnection agreements. For example, when operational DOE or contractor applications or systems that use wireless technologies do not meet the above requirements, the weaknesses must be documented and addressed in applicable corrective action plans and milestones. Threat statements, system risk assessments, and mitigation plans must be updated before incorporating wireless technology into an approved system boundary. 5. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY SYSTEMS. a. b. DOE M 471.2-2 requires that a security plan be developed and maintained in coordination with the site security plan or a site safeguards and security plan. These documents establish the level of security required before system development begins or when changes are made to the system.

Section 7

(1) System changes that might require design changes or that could alter the system’s risk profile must be documented and reported to the organization’s designated approving authority. (2) Prudent risk reduction controls must be implemented and documented to provide assurance that the national security system is operating as intended in the security plan. E.O. 12829, National Industrial Security Program, dated January 6, 1993, directed the development of NISPOM [Department of Defense 5220.22-M]. Chapter 8 of NISPOM includes guidance on requirements, restrictions, and safeguards to prevent unauthorized disclosure and control authorized disclosure of classified information created, stored, or processed on national security systems. 6.
