Risk Management Framework (RMF), SECURITY ASSESSMENT AND  AUTHORIZATION    (A&A/C&A/Q/A) 

Is the unified information security framework for the entire federal government that is replacing the legacy Certification and Accreditation (C&A) processes within federal government departments and agencies, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Intelligence Community (IC).

Risk Management Framework (RMF) is an integral part of the implementation of FISMA, the Federal Information Security Management Act, and is based on publications of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS).

Risk Management Framework (RMF) training is suitable for DoD employees and contractors. This training program emphasizes the transition now taking place at DoD from DIACAP to RMF.

 

The Risk Management Framework (RMF) for DoD IT training program covers the "domains" required for the Certified Authorization Professional (CAP) examination.

Please note Washingtontech Solutions Education provides training only. The CAP exam itself is administered by ISC2 (www.isc2.org).
