RMF Select Step

RMF step in which controls are chosen, tailored, and documented in security and privacy plans.

Definition

Teams select a baseline from SP 800-53B, tailor it (scoping, parameter values, compensating controls, supplementation), designate controls as common, hybrid, or system-specific, and develop a continuous monitoring strategy. The plans are approved by the authorizing official.

Example

The team adds SC-28 enhancements to the moderate baseline because the system stores sensitive research data.

Exam tip

Tailoring happens in Select, not Implement.
