Description

Activities
The project will automatically build oscal content from cprt reference data and related mapping document. Specifically, proof-of-concept code will programmatically combine cprt mappings with the pre-existing oscal NIST SP 800-53 control (SP 800-53 catalog) to create new oscal content. The resultant content will increase publicly available oscal content. This new oscal content will provide product vendors the ability to import well-formed and valid oscal into their products. This will enable GRC product vendors to import oscal as a starting point for assessment, reporting, and authorization (i.e., system security plan generation).
Expected outcomes
Once the project successfully expands available oscal content, follow-on activities will enrich the oscal content with mapping information. Specifically, a future project will create proof-of-concept code to programmatically create oscal content where the relationship between two or more embedded reference datasets are defined by key properties. Key properties might include relationship types using set theory, mapping rational using semantic, syntactic, or functional terms, and fulfillment statements whether one reference element entirely satisfies the other reference element. This will allow users, such as GRC product vendors, to go beyond communicating the relationships of SP 800-53 controls to cprt reference dataset. Product vendors would then be able to express the fulfillment of a given cprt reference dataset based on SP 800-53 assessments.
Intended beneficiaries
Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) tool vendors will be able to support automated assessments against other regulatory frameworks than SP 800-53. System owners will be able to generate information regarding the cprt controls satisfaction in machine readable formats (XML, json and yaml), security assessors and auditors will be able to automate 60% or more of the systems assessment while increasing the assessment accuracy. Security framework owners and system implementers will be able to use the mapping model to relay how the controls from one framework relate to controls from other regulatory frameworks, supporting rigorous assessments ?once? And inference of the results ?multiple times?.
