Estimate Potential Agency Impact

Control

Providers MUST evaluate detected vulnerabilities, considering the context of the cloud service offering, to estimate the likely potential agency impact of exploitation on government customers AND assign one of the following Potential Agency Impact N-ratings (PAIN):
- **N0**: Exploitation is extremely unlikely to have any adverse effects on agencies that use the cloud service offering.
- **N1**: Exploitation could be expected to have minimal customer effects on one or more agencies that use the cloud service offering.
- **N2**: Exploitation could be expected to have narrow customer effects on one or more agencies that use the cloud service offering.
- **N3**: Exploitation could be expected to have a disruptive customer effect on one agency that uses the cloud service offering.
- **N4**: Exploitation could be expected to have a debilitating customer effect on one agency that uses the cloud service offering OR a disruptive customer effect on more than one federal agency that uses the cloud service offering.
- **N5**: Exploitation could be expected to have a debilitating customer effect on more than one agency that uses the cloud service offering.
