Understanding the Risk Management Framework (RMF)

The Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a structured process developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks. The RMF provides a standardized approach to risk management, enabling organizations to understand and mitigate potential security threats while maintaining regulatory compliance. RMF is crucial for assessing third-party vendors, as it ensures that external partners align with an organization’s cybersecurity and risk management standards. 

The RMF consists of a multi-step process that includes categorizing information systems, selecting security controls, implementing and assessing those controls, authorizing system operations, and continuously monitoring security posture. By applying the RMF with a knowledgeable partner like CORL, organizations can effectively manage risks to help maintain a high level of security and support regulatory adherence.
