    NIST Special Publication 800-53A, Revision 5
    Assessment Procedures for Security and Privacy Controls
    Initial Public Draft: March 2019
    Final Public Draft: June 2019
    Final Publication: September 2019

    There are 6 major objectives for this update—
    -Making the security and privacy controls more outcome-based by changing the structure of the controls;

    -Fully integrating the privacy controls into the security control catalog creating a consolidated and unified set of controls for information systems and organizations

    -Separating the control selection process from the actual controls: systems engineers, software developers, enterprise architects; and mission/business owners

    -Promoting integration with different risk management and cybersecurity approaches and lexicons, including the Cybersecurity Framework

    -Clarifying the relationship between security and privacy to improve the selection of controls necessary to address the full scope of security and privacy risks

  • RMF for DoD IT no DIARMF

    Ms Teri Takai, DoD CIO, just signed the new Risk Management Framework document into existence.  DoDI 8510.01, Risk Management Framework for DoD IT  is what will be replacing the DIACAP.  This document will support the DoDD 8500, Cybersecurity.

    When I was teaching Risk Management Framework in 2011, the DoD kept telling us that it would be released in 2012.  They were about 2 years let.  I am not surprised since they did the same thing with between DITSCAP and DIACAP.  It took them about 3 year to officially move to DIACAP.  Then it takes much longer for all the units to move to the new standard.

    The government  is very slow.
