RMF Assessment & Authorization Support

This Service provides RMF assessment and authorization support for Department of Defense (DoD) information systems and networks, focusing on security control implementation validation, risk assessment, and authorization decision preparation. The Service supports system owners, cybersecurity stakeholders, and Authorizing Officials by executing RMF-aligned security assessments, evaluating control effectiveness, and developing authorization packages required to support informed authorization decisions.

The Service emphasizes disciplined RMF execution through security testing, vulnerability identification, risk documentation, and compliance validation in accordance with NIST SP 800-53, DoD RMF policy, and applicable cybersecurity guidance. Activities are performed in support of initial system authorization, reauthorization, or significant system change, enabling systems to achieve an approved authorization posture prior to operational sustainment.
