Risk Response (03.11.04) Risk Response
High-Level Description
Family: Risk Assessment
Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI
Risk Response
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review System Security Plan
Examine the SSP for Risk Response (03.11.04) implementation description and responsible parties.
Step 2: Assess Implementation
# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable
# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture
Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation
Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.

Remediation Guide
Requirement Statement
Implement Risk Response per NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3.
Supplemental Guidance
This requirement addresses the need to determine an appropriate response to risk before generating a plan of action and milestones (POAM) entry. It may be possible to mitigate the risk immediately so that a POAM entry is not needed. However, a POAM entry is generated if the risk response is to mitigate the identified risk and the mitigation cannot be completed immediately.
