CISM study material · question 488 of 1000

Why does NIST place determination of criticality at the planning step of a procurement rather than later?

  1. Criticality is required before the budget can be approved
  2. It shapes how much risk is tolerable, who takes part in planning, and which requirements apply
  3. Criticality determines the contract's payment schedule
  4. Criticality decides which procurement regulations apply
Show the answer

Answer: B. It shapes how much risk is tolerable, who takes part in planning, and which requirements apply

SP 800-161r1 establishes need and criticality during plan procurement, along with what drove that judgement, because those three downstream decisions all depend on it.
