NIST RMF Implementation
Categorize → authorize → monitor
Capstone: RMF authorization package
SSP, POA&M and authorization artifacts
Hands-on lab work.
Every step above is backed by real practice in Atlas, our simulated workbench. You do the work an employer would hand you, and you keep the artifacts as portfolio evidence.
RMF Authorization: Meridian
Step into the ISSO seat. Take Meridian through the full Risk Management Framework lifecycle and the continuous-monitoring grind: assess controls, gather evidence, work the POA&M, and keep the authorization honest.
CMMC Level 2 Assessment
Sit on the assessment team. Scope the enclave, review the SSP, assess all 110 requirements with Examine/Interview/Test, score MET / NOT MET with the SPRS score, and build the findings and limited POA&M, the way a C3PAO actually runs it.
Hands-on labs. A final exam & capstone. A real role.
You finish with a portfolio you can show, a cumulative exam, and the skills to land the ISSO / RMF Analyst role.
