To calculate the FIPS 199 security categorization, you map information types to NIST SP 800-60 standards and evaluate CIA impact levels. This determines the system high-water mark of Low, Moderate, or High for FISMA compliance.

The FIPS 199 system high-water mark is the overall security impact level derived from the highest Confidentiality, Integrity, or Availability rating. It establishes the required security baseline for a federal system during RMF Step 1.

Mapping information types to NIST SP 800-60 categories involves inventorying the system's data and matching it to predefined standards. This process calculates the CIA impact matrix to generate a structured FIPS 199 compliance artifact.

Yes, FIPS 199 categorization requires integration with project-specific architecture artefacts. This ensures the information type inventory and resulting CIA impact matrix accurately reflect the system's design and adhere to OMB and NIST regulatory frameworks.

You can automate FIPS 199 CIA impact matrix generation by inventorying information types and calculating system high-water marks. This ensures consistent FISMA compliance documentation and standardizes the security baseline establishment process.

You need to perform FIPS 199 security categorization during RMF Step 1. It establishes the Low, Moderate, or High security baseline before proceeding with security control selection and implementation for US federal civilian information systems.
