With thousands of assessment procedures, even those with a strong understanding of RMF can get very overwhelmed and confused by what each security control means. Recognizing this RMF crux, our RMF training partner has created a new course titled Security Controls Implementation Workshop. Our Security Controls Implementation Workshop is an in-depth dive into Step 3 of the Risk Management Framework process “Implement Security Controls”.

At IT Dojo, we frequently engage in discussions with our students regarding the importance of formal classroom RMF (Risk Management Framework) training. In today's digital age, we have access to a wealth of free online resources that enable us to explore and complete projects that were once unimaginable two decades ago. The internet has revolutionized learning, making vast amounts of information just a few keystrokes away. However, we must be forthright: RMF has traditionally proven to be a subject that cannot be easily or effectively mastered through self-study using free online resources.
Drawing from years of RMF research data, a consistent pattern emerges among respondents who are RMF practitioners. They emphasize the significance of formalized RMF classroom training and how it greatly simplifies the process of completing RMF packages.
Some notable challenges associated with self-directed RMF education include:
The sheer volume of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) guidance and RMF policies can be overwhelming, especially for those new to the RMF process and the intricacies of government policy.
RMF policies and the nuances of NIST guidelines can be perplexing. Having a real-time resource to answer your questions and provide guidance can save an immense amount of time compared to relying solely on online searches and community forums. Additionally, online information may not always reflect the most up-to-date guidance due to the frequent updates and changes in policies.
One of the most valuable aspects of ITDojo's RMF training is the hands-on consulting experience offered by our instructors. This real-world perspective is invaluable. Unfortunately, RMF policy doesn't always transition seamlessly from theoretical knowledge to practical application.
We recognize these challenges and can offer solutions and support based on our extensive RMF consulting experiences. While we understand the constant struggle to manage work priorities and the desire to find shortcuts for efficiency and productivity, our experience at ITDojo has shown that true efficiency and productivity in RMF can often be achieved by committing to a comprehensive four-day RMF training course. We've witnessed many students who attempt self-teaching or shortcuts spend months grappling with questions and attempting to digest the extensive NIST documentation on their own.
We strongly encourage any student who questions the necessity of RMF training to consider the value of RMF live instructor-led training delivered by seasoned RMF practitioners. Additionally, ITDojo offers former students access to programs such as TrainPlus™, providing vital support when facing RMF challenges. Allow ITDojo to educate and guide you through your RMF journey by attending our flagship four-day RMF full course training program.
