Any organization can be vulnerable to attack or the break down and failure of their IT systems. This can be due to flaws in the design of the infrastructure, weak configuration settings, failure to apply security patches, or poor security management. Unauthorized access to your systems and your data can have serious operational, financial, or legal implications, as well as damaging your reputation. Even firewalls and antivirus technologies are prone to vulnerabilities and hackers are constantly developing new ways of exploiting security weaknesses.

We offer a variety of specialized information security services designed to reduce the risk and impact of unauthorized access to your systems and data. Information systems assurance professionals provide advice to help you make your systems, and the processes they support, function as intended and those appropriate contingencies are in place to allow your organization to operate business as usual in the event of not being able to access systems. By assessing all significant risks and ensuring they are being appropriately managed, we can also help you consider how to use your IT systems to better achieve your objectives.

RSM has the knowledge and experience in information technology reviews, information security and internal audits to provide you with the insight necessary to fully understand how your IT systems are being used and where the risks are.

Risk Management Frame

At its core, the Risk Management Framework (RMF) determines how Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, and their contractors must protect and secure their assets. Initially developed by the National Institute of Standards (NIST), this six-step process continues to change and evolve to help organizations improve their security posture on their path to attaining their Authority to Operate (ATO).

Our experience with DoD RMF and DCSA RMF compliance gives you the guidance you need to navigate every stage of the process. From standing up new systems to monitoring your ongoing risk, we’re here to proactively manage your data security on your path to RMF compliance.

When pursuing a DoD ATO, we can help you navigate the complexities and questions you’ll face by making informed decisions that enhance security across your organization.
