On June 30, NIST released Special Publication 800-18r2, its first full revision of federal system planning guidance in two decades. The headline change consolidates three plans, the system security plan, the system privacy plan, and the cybersecurity supply chain risk management plan, into a single integrated construct NIST now calls "system plans," each mapped to the steps of the Risk Management Framework. The more consequential change sits a few paragraphs down. NIST wants those plans machine readable, fed by automated data collection through GRC, SOAR, and SIEM platforms, and rendered in dashboards that support near real time risk decisions. The stated goal is to reduce reliance on static, point-in-time documentation.
