4. BACKGROUND.
This NAP was developed using DOE O 205.1B, Department of Energy Cyber Security
Program, dated 05-16-2011, as a baseline and is tailored to meet the mission requirements
of NNSA. This NAP incorporates and requires a CSP consistent with the unified cyber
security framework outlined in National policies, instructions, standards and guidelines
NAP-14.1-D 3
12-14-12
issued by the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) and the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Through the implementation of the CSP requirements outlined in this policy, NNSA
Program Offices and their associated field sites, including NNSA laboratories and plants,
can effectively meet the Department’s FISMA obligations. In addition, NNSA Program
Offices and their associated field sites can ensure implementation of cost-effective security
controls/investments, consistent with DOE/NNSA mission requirements that are in
alignment with current threats.
5. REQUIREMENTS.
a. NNSA information assets must be protected in a manner commensurate with mission
importance, significance to national security, threat capability, known vulnerabilities
and consequence of loss for the information it processes. NNSA elements must
develop and maintain a comprehensive Cyber Security Risk Management
Implementation Plan that meets the following requirements:
(1) The NNSA and its elements must establish, and utilize a RMF to maintain a cost
effective and secure environment that enables the organization to meet its
mission and business goals and objectives that:
(a) Sets forth a RMF aligned with NIST Special Publication 800-39,
Managing Information Security Risk Organization, Mission, and
Information System View and NIST Special Publication 800-37 Revision
1, Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal
Information Systems: A Security Life Cycle Approach.
Section 3
(b) Establishes roles, responsibilities, communication, and risk reporting
structure. Attachment D provides a template for risk reporting.
(c) Establishes a risk strategy and risk tolerance threshold based on the
criticality of organizational mission and business functions.
(d) Adequately protects DOE/NNSA information and information assets in a
cost effective manner by managing information security risks, considering
mission priorities, and allocating resources to the most efficient solutions
necessary to reduce risk to acceptable levels. The RMF:
i. Takes into account the need to harmonize mission execution and
performance with security needs, business, structure, and security
requirements;
ii. Provides the flexibility to tailor and implement risk mitigation
controls in light of local threats, acceptable risks, mission needs, and
environmental and operational factors;
4 NAP-14.1-D
12-14-12
iii. Actively evaluates, responds to, and mitigates changing threats and
evolving situations to continuously manage risk to acceptable levels
as defined in site risk management plans and the enterprise threat
tolerance statement levels;
iv. Includes continuous monitoring of information security management
controls. This includes continuous assessment of the overall,
ongoing effectiveness of the approach to managing cyber risk;
v. Implements Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 199
and FIPS 200 for unclassified systems and Committee on National
Security Systems (CNSS) requirements for national security
systems. See Attachment C for a table mapping DOE information to
CNSS Potential Impact Levels; and
vi. Incorporates and uses NIST SP-800 series publications as guidance

solutions unless the approach does not address the varying mission needs,
encounters significant technical barriers, or is not cost effective for
implementation.
b. Cyber Security Program Documentation.
(1) The NNSA Administrator shall establish and maintain a Risk Management
Implementation Plan. This plan must be based upon requirements outlined in
DOE O 205.1B. This NAP serves as the NNSA Risk Management
Implementation Plan.
(2) Each NNSA site must document their RMF in the Site Risk Management Plan.
This plan is a management-level document approved by the Site Office
Manager (SOM) in coordination with the Site Senior Contractor Management
that details the site RMF, missions, threats, policies, procedures, and practices
specific to the Site Office and M&O Contractors. See Attachment B for the Risk
Management Plan outline.
c. Governance.
(1) NNSA risk management is governed by leadership, management, and
technical experts consisting of the NNSA Management Council,
Enterprise Cyber Security Advisory Board (ECSAB) and Site Level
Risk Management Councils (SRMC). Figure 1 illustrates the
relationships, the functions and basic processes of the governance
NAP-14.1-D 5
12-14-12
bodies. The ECSAB and SRMCs will publish associated charters,
define processes, and issue work plans.
Section 4
(2) The NNSA Management Council governs the Cyber Security Program.
Per NAP-20, NNSA Management Council, the Council is a forum for
discussions and decisions regarding NNSA policies, practices, and
priorities. These include: activities and decisions associated with the
Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Evaluation (PPBE) system;
Human Capital Programs; Acquisition Management; Information
Technology policies and initiatives for each NNSA Federal element;
coordination of NNSA responses to Federal and DOE taskings and
directives. As such, this Council will perform risk management at the
enterprise level.
(3) The Enterprise Cyber Security Advisory Board (ECSAB) will be chartered by
the NNSA Management Council and chaired by the NNSA Associate CIO for
Policy and Governance. Other members include the Associate CIOs for
Classified Operations, Unclassified Operations, and Resource Management; and
two representatives from each site who can effectively communicate
information management (IT and Cyber Security) and mission requirements.
While sites are addressing inclusion of the requirements of this policy into their
contracts, site Authorizing Officials will serve as representatives on the ECSAB
for their respective sites. The ECSAB oversees, advises on, and provides:
(a) A common NNSA approach to determine and manage residual risk;
(b) Policy and technology issues relevant to Information Technology and
Cyber Security;
(c) Consultation with and feedback to the NNSA CIO;
(d) Information sharing among the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) site risk
management councils and the NNSA CIO concerning risk management;
and
(e) Discusses and determines the detailed approach and procedures for the
NSE for implementing the system-level management, operational and
technical controls, further defined in DOE 205.1B to supplement the
requirements of this NAP such as Warning Banners, plan of action and
milestones, and media use.
(4) Each site will have a Site Risk Management Council (SRMC). These site-level
councils manage information management risks at their respective sites. At
sites with M&O contractors, council members are selected to represent the site
office and M&O contractor. For Headquarters, council members are selected by
the CISO.

a. Contractor Assurance System (CAS) – Requirements for a contractor assurance
system are described in DOE O 226.1A, Implementation of Department of Energy
Oversight Policy, Attachment 1, Appendix A "Contractor Assurance Systems."
b. Cyber Security – The management, technical, and operations controls and risk
management process used to mitigate cyber risk for providing the required and
appropriate level of confidentiality, integrity, and, availability and accountability for
of DOE/NNSA information stored, processed, or transmitted on electronic systems
and/or networks.
c. Enterprise System – Systems within NNSA where the accreditation boundary covers
multiple sites and multiple local Authorization Official Jurisdictions.
Section 9
d. Authorizing Official (AO) – A senior official or executive with the authority to
formally assume responsibility for operating an information system at an acceptable
level of risk to organizational operations and assets, individuals, other organizations,
and the Nation. The AO typically have budgetary oversight for an information
system or are responsible for the mission and/or business operations supported by the
system. Through the security authorization process, AOs are accountable for the
security risks associated with information system operations. Accordingly, AOs are
in management positions with a level of authority commensurate with understanding
and accepting such information system-related security risks. Authorization Officials
also approve security plans, memorandums of agreement or understanding, plans of
action and milestones (POA&Ms), and determine whether significant changes in the
information systems or environments of operation require reauthorization. The AO
can deny authorization to operate an information system or if the system is
operational, halt operations, if unacceptable risks exist. The AO coordinate their
activities with the risk executive (function), CIO, CISO, common control providers,
information system owners, Information ISSO, security control assessors, and other
interested parties during the security authorization process. With the increasing
complexity of mission/business processes, partnership arrangements, and the use of
external/shared services, it is possible that a particular information system may
involve multiple AOs. If so, agreements are established among the authorizing
officials and documented in the security plan. Authorizing Officials are responsible
for ensuring that all activities and functions associated with security authorization that
are delegated to AODRs are carried out. The role of AO has inherent U.S.
