Cybersecurity Risk Management Framework The NIST RMF (Risk Management Framework) has gradually become the preeminent governance model for securing assets in a repeatable, measurable manner (It is now the standard Risk Framework within the Department of Defense). The overall guiding principle in adopting the RMF, or a Risk Based Mentality in general, is to secure systems and assets utilizing effectively allocated resources. It is not enough to simply secure systems. There must be a firm grasp of what to secure and to what extent. The RMF guides us through the steps and provides guidance to identify all assets and systems and measurably secure them through repeatable processes.  Cinteot is home to a team of best-in-class Risk Management Practitioners as well as a wide range of Technical and Subject Matter experts who can support adoption and application for a broad variety of organizations. Our team can take you through all the seven steps (below), while advising on how to evaluate each asset and system. Our team ensures a thorough understanding of all assets and systems. We conduct a Business Impact Analysis and a Threat Analysis as part of our standard approach. Our team has deep expertise in mapping NIST Security Controls so that our System Hardening Experts have clear guidance to work from. We understand that Data Assets can be particularly challenging assets to inventory and categorize. Our team of Data Architects and Data Scientists have the appropriate expertise to help you catalog and understand your Data Assets.  They will then subsequently adapt them to a mature Data Governance framework.
