NIST RMF and cATO

When compliance leads, delivery accelerates.

Modernize your ATO model. Advance your mission.

Legacy ATO processes were designed for yesterday’s risk landscape. But high-compliance environments should not have to trade off security for speed.

Rise8’s cATO playbook shows how forward-leaning government teams are turning the NIST RMF into a delivery accelerator, obtaining cATO and deploying mission-critical software in weeks, not years.

Paths to reduce delivery times and improve trust

Achieve cATO with a modern approach to the NIST Risk Management Framework

Airmen and Guardians pay the price of delay when software delivery stalls. cATO is a dynamic approach to continuous software delivery without compromising compliance or sacrificing speed.

ONGOING SECURITY

cATO replaces traditional periodic re-authorizations with continuous monitoring, as NIST SP 800-37 specifies.

REDUCE TIME TO ATO

Align RMF application with Agile and DevOps software development lifecycles to reduce initial authorization timelines.

NO INTERRUPTIONS

Monitoring happens continuously in the background, meaning systems remain operational without downtime.
