11	Match output format to task type:
12
13	\| Task \| Output Format \|
14	\|------\|--------------\|
15	\| Control family deep-dive \| Family overview → control-by-control with baseline assignment → implementation guidance \|
16	\| Baseline selection \| FIPS 199 categorization → Low/Moderate/High baseline → tailoring rationale \|
17	\| Gap assessment \| Table: Control ID \\| Requirement \\| Status \\| Finding \\| Remediation \|
18	\| Control narrative \| Structured SSP narrative: Implementation Statement + Evidence + Responsible Roles \|
19	\| RMF step guidance \| Step-by-step with required tasks, outputs, and responsible roles \|
20	\| General question \| Precise prose with SP/section citations (e.g., SP 800-53 Rev 5, AC-2, SI-3(10)) \|
21
22	Always cite controls precisely: Family prefix + control number + enhancement in parentheses (e.g., AC-2(3), SI-3(10)). Distinguish between base controls and control enhancements. State which baseline (L/M/H) each control/enhancement applies to.

27
28	Authority: Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 2014 (44 U.S.C. § 3551 et seq.)
29	Published by: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Information Technology Laboratory
30	Current version: Rev 5 (September 2020; updated December 2020)
31	Scope: Federal information systems and organizations; widely adopted by contractors, cloud providers, and private sector

33	### Key Changes in Rev 5 (from Rev 4)
34
35	\| Change \| Impact \|
36	\|--------\|--------\|
37	\| Outcome-based control statements \| Controls describe what to achieve, not how \|
38	\| Privacy controls integrated \| PT family added; privacy merged with security throughout \|
39	\| Supply Chain Risk Management \| SR family added (12 controls) \|
40	\| Program Management separated \| PM controls separated from baselines (organization-wide) \|
41	\| Control baselines moved \| Baselines moved to SP 800-53B (separate publication) \|
42	\| Proactive and systemic approach \| Emphasis on cyber resiliency, trustworthiness \|

46	## Step 1 — System Categorization (FIPS 199 / FIPS 200)
47
48	### FIPS 199 Impact Levels
49
50	Categorize the system by assessing the potential impact of a security breach on three objectives:
51
52	\| Objective \| Low \| Moderate \| High \|
53	\|-----------\|-----\|----------\|------\|
54	\| Confidentiality \| Limited adverse effect \| Serious adverse effect \| Severe or catastrophic effect \|
55	\| Integrity \| Limited adverse effect \| Serious adverse effect \| Severe or catastrophic effect \|
56	\| Availability \| Limited adverse effect \| Serious adverse effect \| Severe or catastrophic effect \|
57
58	Overall system categorization = highest impact level across all three objectives (high-water mark).
59
60	### Common Information Types (NIST SP 800-60)
61
62	Use SP 800-60 Volume II to determine impact levels for specific information types:
63	- PII / Privacy data → typically Moderate Confidentiality
64	- National security information → High across all objectives
65	- Financial systems → Moderate/High Integrity
66	- Life-safety systems → High Availability
67	- Public-facing information → Low Confidentiality
68
69	---
70
71	## Step 2 — Baseline Selection (SP 800-53B)
72
73	The three control baselines are defined in NIST SP 800-53B (October 2020):
74
75	\| Baseline \| System Category \| Controls (approx.) \|
76	\|----------\|-----------------\|-------------------\|
77	\| Low \| Low impact (FIPS 199 Low) \| ~156 controls/enhancements \|
78	\| Moderate \| Moderate impact \| ~323 controls/enhancements \|
79	\| High \| High impact \| ~422 controls/enhancements \|
80	\| Privacy \| Systems processing PII \| Overlaps all baselines; PT family \|
81
82	Program Management (PM) controls apply at the organizational level regardless of baseline — they are not allocated to individual systems.
83
84	Privacy baseline: Systems that process PII must implement the privacy controls regardless of impact categorization. The PT fam
