RMF & Authorization to Operate (ATO) Support

An Authorization to Operate (ATO) is a federal sign-off that a system is secure enough to run. I support the full NIST Risk Management Framework lifecycle — from system categorization to continuous monitoring — to get you there and keep you there.

The RMF lifecycle

  1. 1

    Categorize

    Define system impact under FIPS 199.

  2. 2

    Select

    Tailor NIST SP 800-53 controls to the system.

  3. 3

    Implement

    Stand up controls across people, process, and tech.

  4. 4

    Assess

    Test control effectiveness and document findings.

  5. 5

    Authorize

    Present the package and earn the ATO.

  6. 6

    Monitor

    Maintain authorization with continuous monitoring.

Including security authorization package development, control implementation guidance, assessment and remediation (POA&M) support, and post-ATO continuous monitoring.
