The Risk Management Framework (RMF) is the backbone of the Department of Defense (DoD) IT security strategy. It provides a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and managing risk throughout the IT system lifecycle. However, RMF is a time consuming, complex, and largely manual process, further complicated by a maze of ambiguous guidance, executive orders, and DoD policies that change how RMF applies to government IT systems.
This is where RMF Orchestrator (RMF-O) comes in. Designed as part of a strategic partnership between IntelliDyne and RiskForce, a dedicated software division specializing in comprehensive Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions, RMF-O leverages IntelliDyne’s government expertise and RiskForce’s deep understanding of RMF to streamline and automate the risk management framework lifecycle. RMF-O is a game-changing solution that leverages the most advanced capabilities in generative AI, ML and NLP, to empower organizations to effectively manage and reduce risk while accelerating time-to-value for their IT systems.
