Roles and Responsibilities

• Own and manage the end-to-end RMF lifecycle, including system categorization, control selection, implementation, assessment, authorization, continuous monitoring, and system disposal.
• Assess and document current-state RMF processes, workflows, roles, data requirements, dependencies, pain points, and approval paths.
• Design and implement standardized target-state RMF processes aligned with NIST, federal agency, and organizational requirements.
• Translate existing RMF workflows, business rules, security documentation, control data, and authorization activities into the new GRC or RMF platform.
• Serve as the primary functional subject matter expert for the new RMF solution, including its workflows, data model, configurations, reporting, and user capabilities.
• Lead requirements-gathering sessions with system owners, ISSOs, ISSMs, security control assessors, authorizing officials, engineers, and compliance stakeholders.
• Define functional requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, workflow rules, role-based permissions, notifications, and approval processes.
• Review and validate the migration of system records, security controls, assessment results, POA&Ms, authorization packages, evidence, and supporting documentation.
• Identify process gaps, data-quality issues, control-mapping inconsistencies, and configuration deficiencies, and coordinate corrective actions.
• Establish RMF governance standards, operating procedures, templates, process guides, decision points, and quality-control requirements.
• Coordinate solution testing, user acceptance testing, process validation, defect resolution, and production-readiness activities.
• Develop training materials and provide role-based training, demonstrations, and knowledge transfer for users of the new RMF solution.
• Monitor RMF process performance, authorization timelines, control-assessment status, POA&M remediation, and continuous-monitoring activities.
• Provide leadership with dashboards, status reports, risk summaries, implementation updates, and recommendations for process improvement.
• Drive user adoption and continuous improvement by incorporating stakeholder feedback, regulatory changes, lessons learned, and emerging cybersecurity requirements.
