Risk Management Framework (RMF) Assistance

Structured. Strategic. Fully Documented.

Navigating the Risk Management Framework (RMF) can feel like a full-time job — especially for small businesses supporting federal missions. At GSec LLC, we help you move through each phase of the RMF lifecycle with clarity, precision, and purpose.

Whether you're pursuing an Interim Authorization to Test (IATT), a full Authority to Operate (ATO), or updating your existing package, we bring deep RMF experience and practical, small-business-friendly strategies to the table. Our team supports everything from populating eMASS and developing full security authorization packages to building policies, procedures, and plans that hold up under review.

From security control selection to artifact development and inspection prep, we guide you through the process, so you stay compliant, audit-ready, and mission-aligned without getting buried in the bureaucracy.

What We Deliver

RMF Lifecycle Navigation & Strategic Planning

We help you identify your current phase in the 6-step RMF process — categorize, select, implement, assess, authorize, monitor — and build a tailored roadmap to move your system forward. Our approach aligns with your mission objectives, system categorization, and available resources.

Security Documentation & Core Artifacts

Our team assists with drafting, reviewing, and finalizing essential RMF documents, including:

  • System Security Plans (SSPs)

  • Security Assessment Reports (SARs)

  • Risk Assessment Reports (RARs)

  • Continuous Monitoring Strategies

  • Policies and Procedures

  • Security Control Traceability Matrices (SCTMs)

Support for FedRAMP, DoD RMF & FISMA-Aligned Systems

Need GCC High? A secure enclave? Managed IT? We help you make the right calls without overspending. Our team guides you through building a compliant, cost-effective environment with practical solutions that fit your mission and your budget.

SOPs, Diagrams & Program-Specific Policies

We create the operational and visual artifacts required for a complete and audit-ready security package, such as:

  • Network architecture & data flow diagrams

  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

  • Security policies tailored to your environment

  • System and asset inventories
