All government owned systems, regardless of use.

OMB is the mandate, NIST (FDCC) is the policy. I've never seen an audit or
C&A package that didn't make gratuitous use of the "N/A" loophole. Like
airport security, such "regulations" are pure theatre and is the biggest
reason why I jumped that ship and became a filthy contractor.

Tangent example: Trusted Internet Connections (TIC)

Good luck in your new field! Burnout comes fast :-)
