Risk Management Framework (RMF) in Practice Training
Risk Management Framework Training is a 2-day course where participants learn the fundamental concepts and principles of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) as well as learn to apply RMF practices to identify, assess, and manage risks in information systems.
The Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a template and guideline used by companies to identify, eliminate and minimize risks.
Risk Management Framework was originally developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help protect the information systems of the United States government.
The business benefits of RMF are considerable. An RMF can help an organization to reduce its risks, thereby minimizing legal exposure and helping to maximize profitability.
Other benefits:
- Identifying risk across the business
- Implementing a risk mitigation strategy
- evaluating risk that needs to be eliminated versus that which is acceptable
- Adapting quickly to changes in security controls or threats
- Reporting on risk management practices
- Protecting sensitive and personal data
- Putting a risk governance system into place
A risk management framework is important because nearly every business needs to meet some kind of compliance requirement. Most compliance mandates require you to understand your risk tolerance before putting controls in place to mitigate the leftover risk.
Identifying, assessing, and analyzing risk can be overwhelming for many companies. You may struggle with knowing where to start or how to set goals.
However, a risk management framework enables you to create repeatable processes that allow you to define, review, and mitigate IT risks to more effectively set and monitor controls.
