Chg 2: 3-11-2013
SUBJECT: DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY CYBER SECURITY PROGRAM
1. PURPOSE. To set forth requirements and responsibilities for a Departmental Cyber
Security Program (CSP) that protects information and information systems for the
Department of Energy (DOE). The CSP requires a Risk Management Approach (RMA)
that includes: analysis of threats/risks; risk-based decisions considering security, cost and
mission effectiveness; and implementation consistent with guidelines from the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Committee on National Security
Systems (CNSS) cyber requirements, processes and protections. DOE Oversight is
conducted through Assurance Systems that monitor the risk evaluation and protection
processes at each level in the organization. The DOE CSP emphasizes risk management
rather than a systems-level “controls compliance” approach. Through the RMA, the
Department effectively and efficiently meets its obligations under the Federal
Information Security Management Act (FISMA) in a manner that improves, rather than
impedes the fulfillment of the Department’s statutory missions.
The CSP, through DOE’s RMA:
a. establishes line management accountability for ensuring protection of information
and information systems through Senior DOE Management (SDM) consisting of
the Department’s Under Secretaries, the Energy Information Administrator,
Power Marketing Administrators and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) (see
Attachment 3 for a pictorial representation of DOE SDM;
b. recognizes the Department’s federated government-owned/contractor operated
(GOCO) environment and appropriately integrates cyber security governance,
accountability and reporting into management and work practices at all levels of
the Department;
c. institutes a mission-centric, risk-based approach to the management of cyber
security to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DOE
information and information systems;
d. requires a training, education, and awareness program that develops and maintains
cyber security competencies including threat identification and risk management
throughout DOE Federal and contractor workforces that enables personnel to
fulfill their responsibilities in protecting DOE information and information
systems;
e. establishes cyber security governance processes that are mission-focused;
f. defines enterprise-level cyber security requirements, processes and
responsibilities for protecting unclassified and national security information and
information systems; and
DOE O 205.1B
2 DOE O 205.1B

g. ensures that the focus of cyber protection is on accomplishing mission, threat
response, and affordable risk mitigation strategy that provides the appropriate
benefit from available cyber security resources.

Section 3
4 DOE O 205.1B
5-16-2011
4. REQUIREMENTS. The DOE RMA employs an integrated enterprise-wide approach to
secure information and information systems. Managing information security risk, as risk
management in general, is not an exact science. It brings together the best collective
judgments of individuals and groups within organizations responsible for strategic
planning, oversight, management, and day-to-day operations—providing both the
necessary and sufficient risk response measures to adequately protect the missions and
business functions of those organizations. The DOE RMA provides a structured, yet
flexible approach for managing risk that is intentionally broad-based, with the specific
details of assessing, responding to, and monitoring risk on an ongoing basis provided by
NIST security standards and guidelines, operational awareness, and site expertise.
DOE information and information systems must be protected in a manner commensurate
with impact to mission, national security, risk, and magnitude of harm.
a. Governance.
(1) The CSP and DOE RMA are governed by the Department’s Information
Management Governance Council (IMGC). The IMGC serves as the DOE
corporate risk executive (function).
(a) The DOE Under Secretaries, NNSA Administrator and the DOE
CIO are the full, voting members of the IMGC.
(b) The Chief Health, Safety and Security Officer and the Director,
Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence are advisory, non-
voting members of the IMGC.
(2) The IMGC is supported by:
(a) Information Management Governance Council Representatives
(IMGCR), consisting of one Federal representative each from the
Office of the Under Secretary of Energy; the Office of Science; the
NNSA; and the Office of the CIO.
(b) Information Management Governance Council Advisory Group
(IMGCAG), consisting of: four members selected by the M&O
community and approved by the IMGC: one CIO selected from the
National Laboratories reporting to the Office of the Under
Secretary of Energy; one CIO selected from the National
Laboratories reporting to the Office of Science; one CIO selected
from the National Laboratories reporting to NNSA; and one CIO
selected from the NNSA production facilities reporting to NNSA.
(c) Information Management Governance Secretariat, provided by the
DOE Office of the CIO to manage the administrative functions of
the IMGC.
DOE O 205.1B 5
5-16-2011
b. The RMA Process.
(1) The RMA is applicable to the management of all information and
information systems.
(2) At all levels of DOE, the RMA must implement the four
components of risk management: framing; assessing; responding;
and monitoring as depicted in Figure 1.
(a) Risk framing (Step 1) and the risk assessment (Step 2) are
completed in partnership with the DOE Oversight function.
(b) Risk response (Step 3) ensures the defensive protections are
adequate for the agreed upon risk profile. For example, at the DOE
Site level, the Senior Contractor Site Manager is accountable (e.g.
Laboratory Director, Plant Director) for ensuring the defensive
protections are adequate to mitigate the risk profile agreed to by
the Federal Site Manager and Senior Site Manager.
(c) The site is responsible for developing an ongoing monitoring
approach to evaluate and respond to changes in the environment
and assess overall performance (Step 4). DOE Oversight is a
component of risk monitoring and is accomplished through review
of risk assessments, Assurance System outputs and processes, as
appropriate.
Section 4
(3) SDM shall establish the organizational tolerance for risk and
communicates the risk tolerance throughout the organization
including guidance on how risk tolerance influences ongoing
decision-making activities.
6 DOE O 205.1B
5-16-2011
Figure 1. DOE Risk Management Approach (The 4-Steps are displayed at
the DOE Site Level as an example)
(4) SDM must, using a risk based and tailored approach, flow down
the requirements and responsibilities of this Order to all
subordinate organizational levels through implementation plans.
(5) The development of SDM RMA implementation plans must be
coordinated with the DOE CIO, and with the IMGC to resolve
cross-SDM issues.
(6) Authorization Function -- the Authorizing Official (AO) is the
Federal official(s) responsible and accountable for ensuring that
information systems under their purview are operated at an
acceptable level of risk:
(7) For NSS, the Federal AO function is accomplished through DOE
Oversight and must be consistent with CNSS policy.
(8) For unclassified systems, the Federal AO function is accomplished
through DOE Oversight, which includes Assurance System
transparency and performance according to the site's risk

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT (CRD)
DOE O 205.1B, Department of Energy Cyber Security Program
Regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor is responsible for complying with the
requirements of this CRD. The contractor is responsible for flowing down the requirements of
this CRD to subcontractors at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s
compliance with the requirements.
In addition to the requirements set forth in this CRD, contractors are responsible for complying
with Attachments 2 and 3 to DOE O 205.1B referenced in and made a part of this CRD and
which provide information to assist in the implementation of program requirements applicable to
contracts in which this CRD is inserted.
1. The contractor is responsible for assessing and managing risk within its environment, in
the context of acceptable mission risk set collaboratively with the Federal Site Manager.
2. The contractor must formally establish a Site Risk Management Approach (RMA) that is
consistent with the requirements of the applicable Senior DOE Management (SDM)
RMA implementation plan.
3. The contractor must establish and maintain an effective Assurance System that provides
appropriate transparency to Federal oversight regarding cyber security risk management
and overall performance.
4. The contractor must establish and implement a configuration management approach.
Where mission appropriate, the approach must consider federally established
configurations, such as the Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) as an
alternative.
5. Where mission appropriate, or where required in the SDM RMA Implementation Plan,
the contractor must consider and incorporate Federal initiatives such as HSPD-12 (or
compatible) logical access capabilities and the use of Internet Protocol (IP) v6 and
Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) as part of their system
development life cycle plans.
6. The contractor must establish a process to ensure that users acknowledge and consent to
site privacy and monitoring policies.
7. The contractor must establish and maintain an Incident Management Handling and
Reporting Capability that is consistent with the contractor requirements contained within
the applicable SDM RMA Implementation plan. This capability must include:
a. Reporting cyber security and privacy incidents to the Joint Cybersecurity
Coordination Center (JC3).
b. NNSA contractors must report cyber security and privacy incidents to the NNSA
Information Assurance Response Center (NIARC).
Attachment 1 DOE O 205.1B

c. If loss or unauthorized exposure of information associated with National Security
Systems (NSS) is suspected, the incident must be immediately reported to the AO
and JC3.
8. Contractor’s NSS must adhere to the requirements established by the Committee on
National Security Systems (CNSS). Requests for equivalencies and for exemptions from
CNSS requirements must follow those processes, as amplified by SDM RMA
implementation plan direction.
9. Contractors with NSS must implement DOE classified data protection levels as defined in
their respective SDM RMA implementation plans.
10. Contractors with NSS must apply the classification markings in the electronic
environment as described in the applicable SDM RMA implementation plans.
11. Contractors with NSS must implement requirements for accessing and protecting
Restricted Data (RD), Formerly Restricted Data (FRD) and Transclassified Foreign
Nuclear Information (TFNI) as defined in the SDM RMA implementation plans.
Section 13
12. The contractor must ensure all information systems operate within the processes defined
and approved by the Federal Authorized Official, and that all systems maintain an
acceptable level of risk pursuant to (1) the agreed upon risk profile defined by Site and
Federal management, and (2) approved oversight and assurance systems.
