NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security for Risk Managers
What does NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security require of a Risk Manager?
NIST's guide to securing enterprise telework, remote access and BYOD: planning assumptions, method choice, server hardening and placement, authentication and traffic protection, client device and data security, and the policy-to-disposal life cycle. Under NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security, which defines 26 controls, a Risk Manager's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
Which NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security controls land on the Risk Manager
Risk Managers identify, assess, and prioritise organisational risks. They build risk registers, conduct risk assessments, define risk appetite, and ensure that compliance frameworks address the most material threats to the organisation.
NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security defines 26 controls across 4 domains that directly affect the Risk Manager role. Understanding which controls fall within your ownership, which are shared, and which are owned by other teams is the foundation of effective compliance management.
What a Risk Manager is accountable for under NIST SP 800-46 Rev 2 Enterprise Telework, Remote Access and BYOD Security
Conducting enterprise risk assessments and maintaining the risk register
Defining risk appetite and tolerance levels with executive leadership
Mapping compliance controls to identified risks for coverage analysis
Monitoring key risk indicators (KRIs) and escalating emerging threats
Integrating compliance, operational, and strategic risk management
