ISC2 Governance, Risk and Compliance (CGRC) Practice Question

Under NIST RMF Step 6 (Authorize), the authorizing official's decision letter is distributed to key stakeholders. The system owner is explicitly identified as a required recipient because that role is responsible for the daily management and security of the information system and for implementing any terms, conditions, or POA&M items that accompany the ATO. Other parties, such as privacy officers, facility security officers, or configuration control board chairs, may need the information in specific contexts, but RMF guidance does not designate them as mandatory recipients of the formal authorization notification.
