Section 2
4. REQUIREMENTS. The DOE Cybersecurity Program is a shared, distributed enterprise
risk management approach to protect DOE information systems to comply with the
Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) and in alignment with
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Risk Management Framework
(RMF) of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-37 and NIST Framework for Improving
Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity – abbreviated as Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
Additionally, the DOE Cybersecurity Program protects its National Security Systems
(NSSs) to comply with the requirements of Committee for NSS (CNSS) issuances. The
DOE Cybersecurity Program approaches implementation of cybersecurity requirements
in a manner commensurate with impact to mission, national security, risk, and magnitude
of harm, as well as, addressing both information technology (IT) and operational
technology systems. The DOE Cybersecurity Program empowers HDEs and provides
them the flexibility to tailor and implement cybersecurity risk mitigation controls in
consideration of threats, acceptable risks, mission needs, and environmental, and
operational factors. Risk management is also to be performed in accordance with other
DOE Directives, as applicable.
a. To implement the DOE Cybersecurity Program, the Department maintains:
(1) An Enterprise Cybersecurity Program Plan (E-CSPP), which is
responsibility of the DOE Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to
manage, in consultation with the DOE Chief Information Officer (CIO)
and in coordination with the HDEs. The E-CSPP addresses the RMF steps
and CSF from the Department’s overall organizational perspective.
(2) CSPPs, which are required for all DOE DEs and their associated sites that
manage IT/OT systems. DE-CSPPs and Site CSPPs must cover all DOE
systems and all DOE IT assets. Consolidated, combined or subordinate
CSPPs may be used as needed to address organizational structures, shared
service arrangements, and mission requirements. DE-CSPPs address the
3 DOE O 205.1C
5-15-2019
CSF alignment and the RMF steps from their organizational,
mission/business and system perspectives. Sites abide by DE-CSPP
through contracting processes described in this order or by
inheritance/adoption of DE-CSPP for Federal sites.
(3) In support of the preceding documents in paragraphs 3.a.(1) and (2), DOE
Office of the CIO (OCIO) issues non-binding amplifying cybersecurity
guidance, which may be adopted or tailored to individual DE/Site needs to
meet requirements. The OCIO issuances equip DE/Sites with cost
effective options for meeting Federal compliance and facilitate inheritance
of enterprise solutions for their DE-CSPPs.
Note: The NNSA maintains a Supplemental Directive to provide
additional requirements and amplifying guidance on implementation of the
DOE Cybersecurity Program for its component activities.
b. Communication Security (COMSEC) materials and safeguarding requirements to
include equipment, installation, reporting, audits, inspections and training - must
be handled in accordance with the direction of the DOE COMSEC Central Office
of Record (COR).
Section 3
c. In addition to complying with the Department's Cybersecurity Program
Requirements stated herein, DEs must observe requirements stated as law,
obligation, and/or government-wide policy stemming from governance bodies
external to the department, such as other Federal Agencies, Congress, or the
White House, in particular for categories of information systems requiring
specialized controls or reporting as listed below. Where required by law, policy,
or Departmental Directive, DEs must document and implement compliance
approaches stemming from these requirements in the applicable CSPP. For Power
Marketing Administration (PMA) information systems that meet the criteria for
North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) governance, DEs/Sites
must comply with the Critical Infrastructure Protection standards.
(1) For National Security Systems (NSS) protections, DEs/Sites must comply
with the requirements of Committee for NSS (CNSS). DEs/Sites must use
NIST SP 800-59, Guideline for Identifying an Information System, as a
National Security System as guidance.
(2) For Sensitive Compartmented Information systems, DEs must comply
with Intelligence Community Directives. The DOE Office of Intelligence
and Counterintelligence (IN) approves operation of these information
systems.
(3) For High Value Assets (HVAs), DEs must identify, report, and manage
HVAs in accordance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Memorandum M-19-03, Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal
4 DOE O 205.1C
5-15-2019
Agencies, by enhancing the HVA Program, in coordination with the DOE
CIO.
(4) For Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Official Use Only (OUO),
and Unclassified Controlled Technical Information (UCTI) on Non-
Federal systems, DEs/Sites must adhere to the security requirements
specified in NIST SP 800-171, Protecting Controlled Unclassified
Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations.
Information that may be categorized as “CUI Specified” in accordance
with the requirement of 32 CFR 2002 may have additional protection
requirements specified by the applicable CUI-specified owner.
d. The DOE OCIO will establish and maintain a DOE Cybersecurity Data
Repository for key cybersecurity information described in paragraphs 3.b.(1)-(3).
The Data Repository facilitates enterprise visibility and bi-directional information
flows on key items for effective cybersecurity operations while maintaining
empowered HDEs and DE/Site CISOs to manage their DE/Site-CSPPs. DEs/Sites
in coordination with OCIO will update the repository with the appropriate
frequency.
