New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) 1.1.65.C.01: 1.1.65.C.01 Risk assessment supporting a non-compliance dispensation

Before a dispensation from baseline controls can be sought, system owners must complete a risk assessment for the agency that records: (1) why the system cannot comply with the NZISM; (2) the impact on their own, multi-agency or All-of-Government systems; (3) the alternative mitigation measures to be put in place; (4) how strong and applicable those alternative mitigations are; (5) an assessment of the residual security risks; and (6) a date on which the decision will be reviewed.
