RACI Definitions

R — Responsible: Person who performs the work to implement or maintain the control. There should be exactly one R per control.  |  A — Accountable: Person ultimately answerable to leadership and the C3PAO. Signs off. One per control.  |  C — Consulted: Subject matter expert whose input is needed.  |  I — Informed: Must be kept aware of status and changes.

🌐 External Service Providers (ESPs / CSPs / MSPs)
Providers appear as assignable roles in the RACI matrix
⚠ Assessor Expectation

C3PAO assessors specifically evaluate how you manage external providers that touch or protect CUI. For every provider listed, be prepared to show: (1) their compliance status or certification, (2) which controls they own or share with you, and (3) a signed agreement that includes flow-down requirements. Shared responsibility does not eliminate your obligation — you must verify the provider implements their side.
