RA.L2-3.11.1 — Periodically assess risk to operations and individuals
Periodically assess the risk to organizational operations (including mission, functions, image, or reputation), organizational assets, and individuals, resulting from the operation of organizational systems and the associated processing, storage, or transmission of CUI.
Verbatim NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 requirement text (3.11.1).
How it's scored
3 points deducted from your SPRS score if unmet.
An open gap here is not POA&M-eligible (only 1-point requirements qualify under 32 CFR 170.21, with one narrow exception at SC.L2-3.13.11): it must be fully implemented before a Level 2 assessment can certify.
What an assessor checks: the 2 assessment objectives
NIST SP 800-171A determination statements, verbatim. A CMMC Level 2 assessor marks RA.L2-3.11.1 MET only when every applicable objective is satisfied — and examines evidence, not assertions.
| Objective | Determination statement |
|---|---|
| 3.11.1[a] | the frequency to assess risk to organizational operations, organizational assets, and individuals is defined. |
| 3.11.1[b] | risk to organizational operations, organizational assets, and individuals resulting from the operation of an organizational system that processes, stores, or transmits CUI is assessed with the defined frequency. |
