RMF ISSO: Foundations (Guide): NIST 800 Risk Management Framework for Cybersecurity Professionals (NIST 800 Cybersecurity)

RMF can be difficult to navigate. Having solid information that is easy to read and understand is critical for an ISSO trying to keep a system compliant. I find Bruce's teaching and writing style to be exemplary. Bruce has a great deal of experience in the compliance field and he has an engaging teaching style that really resonates with the student. The Foundations Guide is a "must have' for any ISSO. I highly recommend it, even to experienced ISSOs that think they know it all- there is always value to learning another perspective! Check it out! You will definitely find value here!

I love this book. It's a very easy to read, gets straight to the point. This book has provided me a clearer understanding on the roles and responsibilities of an ISSO and NIST 800 RMF. I'm going to buy more books from the author Bruce Brown.

This is a streamlined RMF book that cuts right to the chase. The book is compact, roughly 80 pages, so it's an easy/short read. If you're new to the IA game, I would 100% recommend this book. The low price is well worth the knowledge gained.

Prints in this book are so light, making it not very legible, the prints are light grey. It would have been better if a solid black ink was used. Even with my glasses the prints look like a faded ink or ink that needs ink cartridge to be changed. Only the headings which are in bold large black prints are legible.

It was a quick read. The information listed is all publicly available and some of it was summarized nicely. I have been an ISSO for a few years now, while I knew this would be a basic book, there was not a lot of material that would warrant it being a foundational book. There were grammar and spelling mistakes that detracted from the book. Given the size of the font and the spacing on the pages, it could have been half the number of pages (35 instead of 75 pages). Is it good to have? Sure. Is it worth $16? No, $5 and under would be a good price for it.

This book is an introduction to Risk Management Framework and cyber security governance, risk and compliance (GRC). Bruce has many years of experience and it shows in how he can simplify complex NIST documents into an easy to digest format.

Great book that breaks down the ISSO foundations, it really helped prepped me for an interview. Way better than reading the NIST books from scratch as this author talks about it in plain English and gives scenario based context. Highly recommended for anyone looking to become, or know what an ISSO does, as well as a refresher.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A simple search of the internet and you can find this same information. Calling this a book is a long shot...more like a pamphlet from a trade show. There is about 25 pages of info...that is easily located.
