Risk Assessment (03.11.01) Risk Assessment
High-Level Description
Family: Risk Assessment
Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI
Assess the risk (including supply chain risk) of unauthorized disclosure resulting from the processing, storage, or transmission of CUI.
Update risk assessments [organization-defined].
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review System Security Plan
Examine the SSP for Risk Assessment (03.11.01) 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
Assess the risk (including supply chain risk) of unauthorized disclosure resulting from the processing, storage, or transmission of CUI.
Update risk assessments [organization-defined].
Supplemental Guidance
Establishing the system boundary is a prerequisite to assessing the risk of the unauthorized disclosure of CUI. Risk assessments consider threats, vulnerabilities, likelihood, and adverse impacts to organizational operations and assets based on the operation and use of the system and the unauthorized disclosure of CUI. Risk assessments also consider risks from external parties (e.g., contractors operating systems on behalf of the organization, service providers, individuals accessing systems, and outsourcing entities). Risk assessments can be conducted at the organization level, the mission or business process level, or the system level and at any phase in the system development life cycle. Risk assessments include supply chain-related risks associated with suppliers or contractors and the system, system component, or system service that they provide.
