# Risk Management Strategy (GV.RM) Risk Management Strategy

## High-Level Description

**Function:** GOVERN (GV)
**Framework:** NIST Cybersecurity Framework v2.0

The organization's priorities, constraints, risk tolerance and appetite statements, and assumptions are established, communicated, and used to support operational risk decisions

## What to Check

- [ ] Verify Risk Management Strategy (GV.RM) Risk Management Strategy outcome is achieved
- [ ] Review documentation and evidence for Risk Management Strategy (GV.RM)
- [ ] Assess organizational maturity for GOVERN function

## How to Test

### Step 1: Identify Current Profile

Determine the organization's current and target CSF profile tier for Risk Management Strategy (GV.RM).

### Step 2: Assess Outcome Achievement

```
# Review organizational policies and procedures
# Check for evidence that Risk Management Strategy (GV.RM) outcome is met
# Interview stakeholders responsible for GOVERN
```

### Step 3: Map to Technical Controls

Identify which SP 800-53 controls implement this CSF outcome and verify their operating effectiveness.
