Develop, monitor, and report on the results of information security and privacy measures of performance.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Measures of performance are outcome-based metrics used by an organization to measure the effectiveness or efficiency of the information security and privacy programs and the controls employed in support of the program. To facilitate security and privacy risk management, organizations consider aligning measures of performance with the organizational risk tolerance as defined in the risk management strategy.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. information security measures of performance are developed;
  2. information security measures of performance are monitored;
  3. the results of information security measures of performance are reported;
  4. privacy measures of performance are developed;
  5. privacy measures of performance are monitored;
  6. the results of privacy measures of performance are reported.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Information security program plan; privacy program plan; information security measures of performance; privacy measures of performance; procedures addressing the development, monitoring, and reporting of information security and privacy measures of performance; risk management strategy; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with information security and privacy program planning and plan implementation responsibilities; organizational personnel responsible for developing, monitoring, and reporting information security and privacy measures of performance; organizational personnel with information security and privacy responsibilities].

Test

[SELECT FROM: Organizational processes for developing, monitoring, and reporting information security and privacy measures of performance; mechanisms supporting the development, monitoring, and reporting of information security and privacy measures of performance].

Overlays

  • Base control: Added (beyond standard baseline)

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for PM-6. This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
