Week 16: Cross-Project Red Teaming Completion & Operational Incident Response Drills
The five hours
- 01
Concepts & system design
60 min· read · map the mechanismR31 — NIST AI RMF Manage function
R42 — NIST GenAI Profile risk treatment
Read the assigned sections; map the mechanism, threat model and trade-offs.
- 02
Project implementation
120 min· build · integrate · debugTriage all red-team findings from Days 89–92 by impact severity and exploitability. Remediate the highest-risk code/config flaws across
P1–P3and promote every confirmed attack into the permanentD8CI regression gate.Build, integrate, debug and improve the increment in the active project.

Security lab
60 min· attack your own systemNo separate task text for this block on day 93 — the sourced work sits in the block above. Keep the time box.
Test the abuse case, failure path, authorization bypass or resource limit.

Verification & evidence
30 min· test · record evidenceRemediated code commits, passing
D8regression run, and updated residual-risk register.Add or run regression tests; record the 9-point evidence record.
- 05
Deliberate practice & Socratic review
30 min· explain aloud · update gapsAnswer the 8 Socratic questions without notes: What? Why? How? What if? Why not? How can I prove it? Where can it break? What have I learned?
Re-explain the hardest concept aloud, inspect one edge case, update the gap log.

5 curated- docsNISTAI Risk Management Framework | NIST
The Govern, Map, Measure, Manage structure you triage against, so each red-team finding lands in a function with a named owner rather than a flat bug list.

Walks the four RMF functions and how they connect, giving you the vocabulary to score impact and exploitability consistently across P1 to P3.

A practitioner session on actually applying the RMF, useful for turning confirmed attacks into measurable, repeatable CI regression checks rather than one-off reports.

The GenAI profile's suggested actions for confabulation, data privacy, information integrity and value-chain risk, which is how you justify severity for AI-specific findings.

The subcategory-level outcomes behind each function, the granularity you need to attach a specific test artifact to each control you claim to meet.

Core Implementation
Triage all red-team findings from Days 89–92 by impact severity and exploitability. Remediate the highest-risk code/config flaws across P1–P3 and promote every confirmed attack into the permanent D8 CI regression gate.
Verification & Evidence
Remediated code commits, passing D8 regression run, and updated residual-risk register.
