All changes in this version
Title
Risk Assessment
Control
a. Assess the risk (including supply chain risk) of unauthorized disclosure resulting from the processing, storage, or transmission of CUI.
b. Update risk assessments [Assignment: frequency].
Discussion
Establishing the system boundary is a prerequisite to assessing the risk of the unauthorized disclosure of CUI. Risk assessments consider threats, vulnerabilities, likelihood, and adverse impacts to organizational operations and assets based on the operation and use of the system and the unauthorized disclosure of CUI. Risk assessments also consider risks from external parties (e.g., contractors operating systems on behalf of the organization, service providers, individuals accessing systems, and outsourcing entities). Risk assessments can be conducted at the organization level, the mission or business process level, or the system level and at any phase in the system development life cycle. Risk assessments include supply chain-related risks associated with suppliers or contractors and the system, system component, or system service that they provide.
