Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities (GV.RR) Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities
High-Level Description
Function: GOVERN (GV)
Framework: NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0
Cybersecurity roles, responsibilities, and authorities to foster accountability, performance assessment, and continuous improvement are established and communicated
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Identify Current Profile
Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities (GV.RR).
Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that Roles, Responsibilities, and Authorities (GV.RR) outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for GOVERN
Step 3: Map to Technical Controls
Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
