0.2 What This Document Addresses
FedRAMP 20x Authorization requires organizational governance artifacts that exist outside the technical control stack. Program Management (PM) controls establish the organizational infrastructure — leadership accountabilities, program plans, metrics, and risk management frameworks — within which all technical controls operate. Without these artifacts, technical evidence cannot be contextualized against organizational mission and risk posture.
This document provides:
- Information Security Program Plan (ISPP) — a structured outline satisfying PM-1, PM-7, PM-11 with a fillable template
- Program Leadership RACI — roles, responsibilities, and accountability matrix satisfying PM-2
- System Inventory Framework — inventory methodology and automation approach satisfying PM-5
- Risk Management Strategy — risk register format and governance cadence satisfying PM-9
- Testing, Training, and Monitoring (T&T&M) Plan — tracker template satisfying PM-14
- Security Contact Registry — industry liaison contacts satisfying PM-15
- Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Governance Charter — organizational SCRM framework satisfying PM-30 and providing the organizational backbone for the technical evidence established in Vol IV Book 02 (Supply Chain Risk Management)
Together these artifacts provide the templates and framework to close nine NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 PM family controls and provide the PM-30 evidence that, combined with Vol IV Book 02’s technical SBOM/VDR/VEX pipeline, seeds KSI-SCR coverage (KSI-015, KSI-016).

Closure Necessity — PM family. Every PM control in this book closes through a governance artifact — the ISPP, the leadership RACI, the system inventory framework, the risk register, the T&T&M plan, the SCRM charter — signed by named officials. None of them closes through the network substrate: no resolver, overlay, or enforcement point can author an organizational risk-tolerance statement or a leadership accountability matrix. The series asserts network necessity elsewhere only where control text, physics, or protocol behavior forecloses every alternative; conceding that PM governance is closed by documents, not technology, is what makes those assertions credible.
2 Information Security Program Plan (PM-1, PM-7, PM-11)
2.1 ISPP Document Template
The Information Security Program Plan (ISPP) is the governing document for Agency’s cloud security program under FedRAMP 20x. It must be maintained by the designated Senior Agency Information Security Officer (SAISO/CISO) and reviewed annually or after major system changes.
2.1.1 ISPP Section Outline
Section 1 — Purpose and Scope
[FILLABLE] This Information Security Program Plan establishes the security management framework for [SYSTEM NAME], a [IMPACT LEVEL: Low/Moderate/High] impact system operated by the Agency Cloud Services Team under an agency RMF authorization (NIST SP 800-37), with ConMon evidence modeled on the FedRAMP 20x KSI schema.
Authorization Boundary: [Reference the boundary diagram from the SSP. The boundary must match the system inventory in §PM-5 and the authorization package presented to the Agency Authorizing Official.]
Effective Date: [DATE] Review Cycle: Annual / After major change
Document Owner: [NAME, TITLE] — SAISO/CISO
Approver: [NAME, TITLE] — Authorizing Official (AO)
Section 2 — Legal and Regulatory Authority
- Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 2014, 44 U.S.C. §3551
- OMB Circular A-130, Managing Federal Information as a Strategic Resource
- NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5, Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems
- FedRAMP 20x Authorization Framework (GSA, 2026)
- CISA Binding Operational Directive 26-04 (SBOM/VDR/VER, effective Dec 7, 2026)
- Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (May 2021)
Section 3 — Security Program Objectives
[FILLABLE] The Agency cloud security program is designed to achieve the following risk-based objectives, prioritized in alignment with Agency’s mission of delivering critical citizen services:
- Protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of citizen PII and benefit payment data
- Maintain continuous FedRAMP Moderate authorization across all cloud service offerings used to deliver [MISSION FUNCTIONS]
- Achieve and sustain KSI scores meeting the FedRAMP 20x Authorize threshold across all 10 KSI themes by [DATE]
- Satisfy the BOD 26-04 SBOM/VDR/VER requirement by December 7, 2026
Section 4 — Program Resources and Budget
[FILLABLE] Security program resources are allocated as follows:
Resource Category FY[YEAR] Allocation Notes FTE (security staff) [N FTE] ISSO, Security Architect, DevSecOps Tools and licensing $[AMOUNT] SIEM, vulnerability scanning, SBOM tooling Training and certification $[AMOUNT] CISSP, FedRAMP training, vendor certs Third-party assessment (3PAO) $[AMOUNT] Annual assessment + readiness review Contingency / incident response $[AMOUNT] IR retainer + tabletop exercises
2.2 Enterprise Architecture Integration (PM-7)
The Agency security architecture is integrated into the enterprise architecture at three levels:
Technical Reference Architecture (TRA): Security controls are embedded in the TRA as mandatory capabilities. The Volume I–II Compliance books establish the technical baseline; security controls are not bolt-ons but architectural primitives (Zero Trust, encrypted transit, identity-first network access).
Application Lifecycle Integration: Every new application must complete a Privacy Threshold Analysis (PTA) and Security Categorization before design begins. Architecture review gates include:
- Concept — security classification, boundary definition, data flow
- Design — control selection, threat modeling, SBOM requirement binding
- Build — security testing requirements, SBOM generation, CI gates
- Deploy — ATO/P-ATO check, SBOM/VDR submission, KSI baseline
- Operate — continuous monitoring, annual assessment, POA&M management
EA Artifacts That Reference Security Architecture:
- Target Architecture Document (TAD) — references the Volume I–IV Compliance control mappings
- Data Architecture — references Vol III Book 05 (Purview/CMK) for data-at-rest controls
- Network Architecture — references the Volume I network books and Vol II Book 03 for network security
2.3 Mission and Business Process Definition (PM-11)
2.3.1 Critical Mission Functions
Agency operates the following mission-critical processes relevant to this authorization boundary:
| Mission Function | System Dependency | Impact if Unavailable | RTO | RPO |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benefit payment disbursement | [SYSTEM] | Direct citizen harm | 4h | 1h |
| Disability determination | [SYSTEM] | Service delay | 24h | 4h |
| Online account services (my Social Security) | [SYSTEM] | Service degradation | 8h | 2h |
| Contact center CRM | [SYSTEM] | Citizen service impact | 4h | 1h |
[FILLABLE] Complete the above table for all mission functions within the authorization boundary. RTO/RPO values must align with the Contingency Plan (CP controls, Vol IV Book 01) and the Business Impact Analysis (BIA).
3 Program Leadership and Accountability (PM-2)
3.1 Security Leadership RACI
FedRAMP 20x requires named individuals in security leadership roles. The following RACI (Responsible / Accountable / Consulted / Informed) matrix defines accountabilities for security program activities.
3.1.1 Role Definitions
| Role | Title | Responsibilities |
|---|---|---|

4 System Inventory Framework (PM-5)
4.1 Inventory Requirements
NIST SP 800-53 PM-5 requires a current, complete inventory of all system components within the authorization boundary. FedRAMP 20x additionally requires that the inventory be machine-readable and kept in sync with the deployed state.
4.2 Automation Approach
The Agency system inventory is maintained through a three-layer approach:
Layer 1 — Infrastructure Inventory (Automated)
Azure Resource Graph queries provide real-time inventory of all Azure resources within the authorization boundary subscription(s). A scheduled Logic App exports the inventory to a structured JSON format every 24 hours.
// Azure Resource Graph — authorization boundary inventory
resources
| where subscriptionId in ("[SUBSCRIPTION_IDS]")
| project
resourceId = id,
resourceType = type,
resourceName = name,
location,
resourceGroup,
tags,
properties
| order by resourceType, resourceName
Layer 2 — Software Inventory (SBOM)
Vol IV Book 02 establishes the SBOM pipeline using Syft. Every container image deployed in production generates a CycloneDX 1.6 SBOM at build time. The SBOM manifest is the machine-readable software component inventory.
Reconciliation between the infrastructure inventory (Layer 1) and the SBOM inventory (Layer 2) is performed monthly by the DevSecOps team. Discrepancies are logged as POA&M items if not resolved within 30 days.
Layer 3 — Personnel and Account Inventory (Identity)
Entra ID (Vol I Book 05) provides the authoritative account inventory. The ISSO reviews privileged account counts weekly (referenced by KSI-003). The Vol I Book 05 evidence artifacts satisfy CM-8(2) automated inventory maintenance for the identity plane.
4.3 Inventory Template
[FILLABLE] Complete the following inventory for all components within the authorization boundary:
| Component ID | Component Name | Type | Location | Owner | SBOM ID | Last Reviewed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ID] | [Name] | [Server/Container/SaaS/Network] | [Azure Region] | [Team] | [SHA256] | [Date] |
5 Risk Management Strategy (PM-9)
5.1 Risk Management Framework
Agency’s risk management strategy follows NIST SP 800-39 (Managing Information Security Risk) at three tiers:
- Tier 1 (Organization): Risk framing — risk tolerance, risk assumptions, risk constraints, priorities, and trade-offs defined by Agency leadership
- Tier 2 (Mission/Process): Risk assessment — enterprise-level risk register maintained by the CISO
- Tier 3 (System): Risk response — system-level POA&M, continuous monitoring, authorization decisions
5.2 Risk Appetite Statement
[FILLABLE — requires CISO and AO sign-off]
Agency accepts residual risk at the Moderate impact level for systems that process citizen benefit data, consistent with FIPS 199 categorization. The organization’s risk tolerance for the following categories is:
Risk Category Tolerance Rationale Availability Low (RTO ≤ 4h for critical) Benefit payment continuity Confidentiality — PII Very Low Citizen trust; statutory obligation Confidentiality — Internal Moderate Business operations Integrity Low Payment accuracy; audit trail Supply Chain Low BOD 26-04 and EO 14028 mandate
5.3 Risk Register Format
The Agency enterprise risk register is maintained in the POA&M tracker and reviewed monthly by the ISSO, quarterly by the CISO.
| Risk ID | Control | Description | Likelihood | Impact | Score | Owner | Status | Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [R-NNN] | [ID] | [Description] | [1-5] | [1-5] | [L×I] | [Name] | Open/Closed | [Date] |
Scoring matrix: Score = Likelihood (1=Rare, 5=Certain) × Impact (1=Negligible, 5=Catastrophic)
- Score 1–4: Accept (document and monitor)
- Score 5–9: Mitigate (POA&M required within 90 days)
- Score 10–15: Mitigate urgently (POA&M required within 30 days)
- Score 16–25: Escalate to AO (POA&M required within 15 days)
5.4 Risk Response Options
For each identified risk the ISSO documents the chosen response:
- Mitigate: Implement or strengthen a control to reduce likelihood/impact
- Transfer: Contractually shift risk to a cloud service provider or vendor
- Accept: Document acceptance with AO concurrence (time-bounded for score > 4)
- Avoid: Remove the system component or functionality that generates the risk
6 Testing, Training, and Monitoring Plan (PM-14)
6.1 T&T&M Framework
PM-14 requires the organization to implement a security testing, training, and monitoring program with defined schedules and accountability.
6.2 Testing Schedule
| Test Type | Frequency | Responsible | Evidence Artifact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual security assessment (3PAO) | Annual | AO / CISO | Assessment report |

8 Supply Chain Risk Management Governance Charter (PM-30)
8.2 SCRM Organizational Structure
Agency CIO
└── CISO (SCRM Executive Sponsor)
├── ISSO (SCRM Program Manager — day-to-day)
│ ├── DevSecOps Lead (SBOM pipeline owner)
│ ├── Procurement Security Liaison (SR-2 acquisition clauses)
│ └── Vendor Risk Analyst (supplier assessments, SR-6)
└── Legal / Contracts (FOCI reviews, supply chain clauses)
8.3 SCRM Risk Categories
Agency’s SCRM program addresses five supply chain risk categories aligned with NIST SP 800-161r1:
| Category | Examples | Controls | Vol IV Books 02–03 Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counterfeit components | Fake open-source packages, typosquatting | SR-3, SR-10 | SBOM + Cosign verification |
| Tampered components | Compromised build pipeline, malicious update | SR-3, SA-10, SA-11 | SLSA provenance, Grype CI gate |
| Vulnerable components | Known CVEs in SBOM dependencies | SR-5, SR-6, SR-11 | VDR (Grype output), KEV integration |
| Unauthorized access by supplier | Vendor with excessive access | SR-6, AC-21 | Vol I Book 05 vendor access review |
| Vendor financial/operational risk | Vendor bankruptcy, PSIRT closure | SR-8, PM-9 | Vendor disclosure matrix (Vol IV Book 02) |
8.4 SCRM Risk Assessment Process
The SCRM risk assessment is performed: - Annually — full assessment of all critical suppliers - On new procurement — for any new third-party software component - On CVE disclosure — triggered by KEV additions or vendor PSIRT advisories - On change — when the SBOM diff shows a new dependency or version bump
Assessment Inputs: 1. SBOM manifest (Syft output, Vol IV Book 02) — identifies all components and suppliers 2. VDR (Grype output, Vol IV Book 02) — identifies exploitable vulnerabilities 3. Vendor disclosure matrix (Vol IV Book 02 §5) — supplier security posture 4. KEV feed (CISA, integrated via Vol III Book 06 Sentinel) — known exploited CVEs 5. PSIRT/MSRC subscriptions (Vol IV Book 02 §5 Vendor Disclosure Matrix; §8 Continuous Monitoring) — vendor security advisories
Assessment Output: - SCRM risk register update (referenced in PM-9 §5.3 above) - VEX assertions for each CVE (OpenVEX format, Vol IV Book 02 §5) - Remediation actions (POA&M items for unmitigated critical CVEs)
8.5 Supplier Requirements
All suppliers of software components within the authorization boundary must:
- Provide an SBOM in CycloneDX 1.6 or SPDX 2.3 format for all software delivered, within 30 days of contract award and within 15 days of any production update
- Maintain a PSIRT or designate a security contact reachable within 24 hours of a critical CVE disclosure
- Notify Agency within 72 hours of discovery of any security incident that may affect components in Agency’s production environment
- Submit VEX assertions for CVEs identified in their components within 30 days of CVE publication (NVD)
- Accept Agency SCRM audit rights — the right to audit the supplier’s security practices with 30 days’ notice
[FILLABLE] Insert contract clause language for SR-2/SR-3 requirements. Coordinate with Agency Contracts and Procurement to embed SBOM requirement in the standard Acquisition/Vendor Agreement template.
8.6 Supply-Chain Evidence Posture (EO 14028 §4)
The SBOM / VDR / VEX evidence artifacts are mandated by EO 14028 §4 and NIST SP 800-161 — not by BOD 26-04, which governs the risk-tiered remediation timelines. The pipeline is built in Vol IV Book 02; FedRAMP’s VDR/VER rule sets (NTC-0014) and BOD 26-04’s remediation timelines both take effect December 7, 2026.
| Evidence Tier | Artifact | Agency Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1: SBOM | Machine-readable SBOM for all systems | Pipeline built; formal submission due Dec 7 2026 | Vol IV Book 02, Syft pipeline |
| Tier 2: VDR | Vulnerability Disclosure Report (CycloneDX) | Pipeline built; formal submission due Dec 7 2026 | Vol IV Book 02, Grype output |
| Tier 3: VEX | Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange | Pipeline built; formal submission due Dec 7 2026 | Vol IV Book 02, OpenVEX JSON |
Agency’s SCRM program satisfies all three BOD 26-04 tiers through the technical pipeline established in Vol IV Book 02 (SBOM + VDR + VEX Framework) and the organizational governance framework established in this charter.
8.7 SCRM Governance Cadence
| Activity | Frequency | Owner | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBOM scan (CI gate) | Every PR merge | DevSecOps | VDR (Grype) |
| VEX assertion review | 90-day cycle | ISSO | Signed VEX JSON |
| Vendor disclosure matrix review | Annual + on change | Vendor Risk Analyst | Updated matrix |
| SCRM risk register review | Quarterly | ISSO | Risk register update |
| Supplier SBOM receipt | On delivery + quarterly | Procurement Liaison | Supplier SBOM log |
| PSIRT subscription check | Monthly | DevSecOps | Subscription roster |
| SCRM charter review | Annual | CISO | Approved charter revision |
| BOD 26-04 submission check | Pre-deadline (Oct 1) | CISO / AO | VDR/VER submission package |
