FedRAMP High RA-7: Risk Response

Requires the organisation to respond to findings from security and privacy assessments, monitoring and audits, so identified risk is treated rather than only recorded.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 23 controls across 12 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • NIST-CSF-GV.OC-04 Critical objectives, capabilities, and services that external stakeholders depend on or expect from the organization are understood and communicated
  • NIST-CSF-GV.RM-06 A standardized method for calculating, documenting, categorizing, and prioritizing cybersecurity risks is established and communicated
  • NIST-CSF-GV.RM-07 Strategic opportunities (i.e., positive risks) are characterized and are included in organizational cybersecurity risk discussions
  • NIST-CSF-ID.RA-04 Potential impacts and likelihoods of threats exploiting vulnerabilities are identified and recorded
  • NIST-CSF-ID.RA-05 Threats, vulnerabilities, likelihoods, and impacts are used to understand inherent risk and inform risk response prioritization
  • NIST-CSF-ID.RA-06 Risk responses are chosen, prioritized, planned, tracked, and communicated

Other controls in RA - Risk Assessment

You are reading one control. How much of FedRAMP High have you already done?

FedRAMP High RA-7 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of FedRAMP High your existing evidence covers. Hold C5 (Germany) and 119 of 410 FedRAMP High controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 6 were rejected on the C5 (Germany) pair alone.
