# ID.GV-04 ID.GV-04

> **Subcategory of:** Governance (ID.GV)

## High-Level Description

**Function:** IDENTIFY (ID)
**Framework:** NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0

Governance and risk management processes address cybersecurity risks

## What to Check

- [ ] Verify ID.GV-04 ID.GV-04 outcome is achieved
- [ ] Review documentation and evidence for ID.GV-04
- [ ] Assess organizational maturity for IDENTIFY function
- [ ] Map to SP 800-53 controls that satisfy ID.GV-04

## How to Test

### Step 1: Identify Current Profile

Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for ID.GV-04.

### Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement

```
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that ID.GV-04 outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for IDENTIFY
```

### Step 3: Map to Technical Controls

Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
