Why each option
NIST SP 800-18, 'Guide for Developing Security Plans for Federal Information Systems,' describes how to create security plans and includes discussions on sensitivity rankings for federal systems.
NIST SP 800-18 specifically serves as the foundational guide for developing comprehensive security plans for federal information systems. It provides detailed instructions on how to structure these plans and addresses key aspects like categorizing information systems, which involves considering sensitivity rankings.
NIST SP 800-15 does not exist as an official publication in the NIST 800 series.
NIST SP 800-19 does not exist as an official publication in the NIST 800 series.
NIST SP 800-20 is a guide for securing specific operating systems (e.g., Windows XP), not a general guide for developing security plans or describing sensitivity rankings for federal systems.
