System Categorization, Security Planning & Authorization

Operator workflow for the system owner and authorizing official to categorize a system by impact and criticality, maintain the approved system security and privacy plan, authorize internal connections, and grant and track authorization to operate, as a decision-aware flow with categorization-approval and authorization branches. In scope: a single system — its impact and criticality categorization, the system security and privacy plan, internal-connection authorization, and the authorization-to-operate decision with reauthorization tracking. Out of scope: the control assessments and testing that feed the authorization risk view (consumed as an input) and enterprise categorization-policy setting; there is no upstream or downstream workflow, so any cross-workflow dependency is declared as a step input rather than routed.
