[1] [3] The RMF steps link to several other NIST standards and guidelines, including NIST Special Publication 800-53. The RMF process includes the following steps: Prepare to execute the RMF by establishing a context and setting priorities for managing security and privacy risk at both organizational and system levels.
The guidelines are provided by NIST SP 800-60 "Guide for Mapping Types of Information and Information Systems to Security Categories." [9] The overall FIPS 199 system categorization is the "high water mark" for the impact rating of any of the criteria for information types resident in a system.

It directs the organization to make use of NIST Special Publication 800-37, which implies that the Risk management framework (RMF) STEP 6 – AUTHORIZE INFORMATION SYSTEM replaces the Certification and Accreditation process for National Security Systems, just as it did for all other areas of the Federal government who fall under SP 800-37 Rev. 1.
The NIST Computer Security Division develops standards, metrics, tests, and validation programs, and it publishes standards and guidelines to increase secure IT planning, implementation, management, and operation. NIST is also the custodian of the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard publications (FIPS).
