DoD & Cleared contractors in industry are required to perform, at a minimum, an annual risk assessment, and one that is specific to an actual ‘system’. While the DCSA DAAPM, and other related DoD documentation provides examples of a risk assessment (i.e., Risk Assessment Report – Appendix C of the DAAPM), they do not provide detailed information – and examples – of the threat sources. Developing and documenting such information can be time-consuming.
This initial assessment will be a Tier 3 or “information system level” risk assessment. While not entirely comprehensive of all threats and vulnerabilities to the system, this assessment will include any known risks related to the incomplete or inadequate implementation of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53 controls selected for this system.
