What’s important to note about the PREPARE step within the NIST RMF for DoD Contractors?
- Arlington Security Portal - Show on: Side Bar
Per NIST, The PREPARE step was incorporated to achieve more effective, efficient, and cost-effective security and privacy risk management processes. Tasks in the Prepare step directly support subsequent RMF steps and are largely derived from guidance in other NIST publications. As such, organizations may have already implemented many of the tasks in the Prepare step as part of organization wide risk management.
Without adequate risk management preparation at the organizational and system levels, security and privacy activities can become too costly, demand too many skilled security and privacy professionals, and produce ineffective solutions.
