$15)$Why is the system categorization often deemed the most important and delicate task in the RMF process? A$)$ Categorization helps determine the budget to be allocated to manage the system controls B$)$ Categorization informs the type, quantity of controls$/$enhancements needed for the system C$)$ Categorization involves high level officials D$)$ Categorization is the first real step of the RMFEND OF ANSWER: On the contrary, if the system was categorized $$low$$ when it was supposed to be $$high$,$ the system will contain fewer controls and so receive less protection for assets that are of higher value. This exposes the organization to great risk if there were a compromise of the CIA of the system because of insufficient protections. As such, system categorization just needs to be right, not more or less. The other answer options have some relevance but are not the main reason why categorization is most important to the organization.
