The three levels of security objectives provide a common framework and understanding for expressing security. The organization can better determine the level of security when facing potential risks and provide direction on what measures to take.
The security category is based on the potential impact on the organization. These events endanger the information and information systems required by the organization to complete its designated tasks, protect its assets, fulfill its legal responsibilities, maintain its daily functions and protect individuals. Security categories will be used in conjunction with vulnerability and threat information to assess risks to the organization.
The generalized format for expressing the security category, SC, of an information type is:
SC information type = {(confidentiality, impact), (integrity, impact), (availability, impact)}
System Boundary Analysis and Security Controls.The information system and the information in that system are first classified according to the FIPS 199 impact analysis, and the FIPS 199 impact level must be considered when delineating system boundaries and selecting the initial set of security controls. If a group of information resources is identified as an information system, then these resources should generally be under the same direct management control.
FISMA is one of the most important regulations for federal data security standards and guidelines. It was introduced to reduce the security risk to federal information and data while managing federal spending on information security. It requires federal agencies to implement information security programs to ensure their information and IT systems’ confidentiality, integrity, and availability, including those provided or managed by other agencies or contractors.
Achieving FISMA compliance increases an agencies’ data security, protects citizens’ private data, and reduces IT related cost to the federal government. It protects the organization’s ability to function. It enables the safe operation of applications implemented on the organization’s IT systems. It protects the data the organization collects and uses. It safeguards the technology the organization uses.
FIPS 199 requires Federal agencies to assess their information systems in each of the categories of confidentiality, integrity and availability, rating each system as low, moderate or high impact in each category. The generalized format for expressing the security category, SC, of an information type is: SC information type = {(confidentiality, impact), (integrity, impact), (availability, impact)}.
The FISMA defines three security objectives for information and information systems: confidentiality, integrity and availability.
A loss of confidentiality is the unauthorized disclosure of information.
A loss of integrity is the unauthorized modification or destruction of information.
A loss of availability is the disruption of access to or use of information or an information system.
The safety category is based on the potential impact on the organization. These events endanger the information and information systems needed by the organization to complete its assigned tasks, protect its assets, fulfill its legal responsibilities, maintain its daily functions and protect individuals. Security categories will be used in conjunction with vulnerability and threat information to assess the risks faced by the organization.
The general format of security category SC representing information type is:
SC information type = {(confidentiality, impact), (integrity, impact), (availability, impact)}
Organizations determine the security categories of their information systems based on FIPS Pub 199. Security categories should be used in conjunction with vulnerability and threat information when assessing the risks an organization faces from the operation of its information systems.
All information systems in the inventory should be categorized using FIPS 199 as a first step in the system security planning activity. FIPS 199 is the mandatory standard to be used by all federal agencies to categorize all information and information systems collected or maintained by or on behalf of each agency based on the objectives of providing appropriate levels of information security according to impact. Security categorization standards for information and information systems provide a common framework and understanding for expressing security.
FIPS Publication 199 defines three levels of potential impact on organizations or individuals should there be a breach of security (i.e., a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability). The application of these definitions must take place within the context of each organization and the overall national interest.

FIPS Publication 199 set standards for categorizing information and information systems. Security categorization standards for information and information systems provide a common framework and understanding for expressing security that, for the federal government, promotes: effective management and oversight of information security programs, including the coordination of information security efforts throughout the civilian, national security, emergency preparedness, homeland security, and law enforcement communities; and consistent reporting to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress on the adequacy and effectiveness of information security policies, procedures, and practices.
1: Security Objectives
The FISMA defines three security objectives for information and information systems: CONFIDENTIALITY, INTEGRITY, AVAILABILITY
2: FIPS Publication 199 defines three levels of potential impact on organizations or individuals should
there be a breach of security (i.e., a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability).
The potential impact is LOW,MODERATE, HIGH.
3: The generalized format for expressing the security category, SC, of an information system is:
SC information system = {(confidentiality, impact), (integrity, impact), (availability, impact)}
The security categories are based on the potential impact on an organization should certain events occur which jeopardize the information and information systems needed by the organization to accomplish its assigned mission, protect its assets, fulfill its legal responsibilities, maintain its day-to-day functions, and protect individuals. Security categories are to be used in conjunction with vulnerability
and threat information in assessing the risk to an organization.
The safety category is based on the potential impact on the organization. FIPS Publication 199 defines three levels of the potential impact on an organization or individual of a security breach (ie, loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability). The application of these definitions must be made in the context of each organization and the national interest as a whole. These events endanger the information and information systems needed by the organization to complete its assigned tasks, protect its assets, fulfill its legal responsibilities, maintain its daily functions and protect individuals. Security categories will be used in conjunction with vulnerability and threat information to assess the risks faced by the organization
FISMA defines three security objectives for information and information systems: confidentiality, integrity and availability.
The generalized format for expressing the security category, SC, of an information system is:
SC information system = {(confidentiality, impact), (integrity, impact), (availability, impact)},
where the acceptable values for potential impact are LOW, MODERATE, or HIGH.
Security categories are based on the potential impact on an organization, and there are three levels of potential impact of a security breach on an organization or individual: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Use security categories in conjunction with vulnerability and threat information to assess the risk your organization faces.
FIPS defines three levels of potential impact on organizations or individuals should there be a breach of security (i.e., a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability). Establishing an appropriate security category of an information type essentially requires determining the potential impact for each security objective associated with the particular information type. The acceptable values for potential impact are LOW, MODERATE, HIGH, or NOT APPLICABLE.
Determining the security category of an information system requires slightly more analysis and must consider the security categories of all information types resident on the information system. For an information system, the potential impact values assigned to the respective security objectives (confidentiality, integrity, availability) shall be the highest values (i.e., high water mark) from among those security categories that have been determined for each type of information resident on the information system.
FIPS 199 is the mandatory standard to be used by all federal agencies to categorize all information and information systems collected or maintained by or on behalf of each agency based on the objectives of providing appropriate levels of information security according to impact. Security categorization standards for information and information systems provide a common framework and understanding for expressing security.
FISMA defines three security goals for information and information systems: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. And judge the degree of information security according to the above categories.
The chapter mainly focuses on security categorization standards for information and information systems. First, you need to know security objectives:confidentiality、integrity and availability. Then, you are going to asses potential impact on organizations and individuals including: low、 moderate and high. Third, it gives examples of security categorization applied to information types and information systems. It is important to asses impact because when it is done, firms can have a good foundation to implement intern controls .
This article establishes security categories for information and information systems. Security categories are based on the potential impact on an organization when certain events occur that could jeopardize the information and information systems the organization needs to accomplish its assigned tasks, protect its assets, meet its legal responsibilities, maintain its day-to-day functions, and protect individuals. Security categories should be used in conjunction with vulnerability and threat information when assessing an organization’s risk.
This guidline addresses the first task cited—to develop standards for categorizing information and information systems.Security categorization standards for information and information systems provide a common framework and understanding for expressing security. There are a lot of benefits. This guidebook establishes security categories for both information1 and information systems.

FISMA defines three security objectives for information and information systems: confidentiality, integrity and availability. This is the general requirement of enterprises or organizations for information systems. Of course, the current information security requirements may need to be extended beyond these three points, but they can all be integrated into this framework. FISMA rated the impact of each system in each category as low, medium or high. For example: SC information type = {(confidentiality, impact), (integrity, impact), (availability, impact)}. The unified information security goal provides a guide for enterprises and organizations to manage information systems.
This reading introduces the application of security categorization to an information system, and the potential impact values contains low, moderate and high, the potential impact values is to evaluate the representative security objectives ( confidentiality, integrity, availability) of an information system.
