RMF Training for the Fort Meade Cyber and Intelligence Community
IT Dojo delivers live, instructor-led Risk Management Framework (RMF) training for cleared professionals at Fort Meade and throughout the Maryland cyber and intelligence corridor. IT Dojo serves personnel at NSA, US Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and the dense contractor community in Annapolis Junction, Columbia, Laurel, and Odenton. All courses are available live remote online — no travel, no facility disclosure — with the same instructor-led rigor and applied process training as in-person instruction.
Serving the Fort Meade and Maryland Intelligence Corridor
IT Dojo delivers RMF training for professionals across the Fort Meade and Maryland cyber community, including:
- Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) — DISA is the organization responsible for operating and defending the DoD Information Network (DoDIN) and for developing and maintaining the primary tools and guidance of the RMF process — including eMASS itself. DISA personnel at Fort Meade are among the most RMF-sophisticated professionals in the federal government, and their contractors carry correspondingly rigorous ATO and compliance responsibilities.
- National Security Agency (NSA) — NSA manages an extensive portfolio of information systems supporting the signals intelligence and cybersecurity missions. NSA's civilian IT and cybersecurity workforce carries significant RMF obligations tied to their role descriptions, and the contractor community supporting NSA programs operates under some of the most demanding ATO requirements in the DoD.
- US Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) — CYBERCOM's IT infrastructure supporting cyber operations, planning, and coordination requires authorization under DoDI 8510.01. Personnel managing these systems and the contractors supporting CYBERCOM's mission carry active ISSO and system owner responsibilities.
- 780th Military Intelligence Brigade (Cyber) — Army cyber brigade personnel managing and operating information systems that require RMF authorization and continuous monitoring.
- Annapolis Junction and Columbia Contractor Community — Booz Allen Hamilton, Leidos, Northrop Grumman, SAIC, Peraton, and hundreds of smaller cleared firms whose staff provide ISSO support, security control assessments, and RMF program management to government clients at Fort Meade.
RMF Training for the Most Demanding RMF Environment in the DoD
Fort Meade is where the DoD's RMF machinery is built and run. DISA, headquartered here, develops eMASS, publishes DISA STIGs, and manages the enterprise security tooling that the entire DoD uses to execute the RMF process. The community at Fort Meade does not need an introduction to RMF — it needs training that matches the depth and sophistication of the environment it actually works in.
IT Dojo's RMF training is built around the DoD implementation of RMF at exactly that level of depth: eMASS package management and workflow, DISA STIG application and POA&M management, NIST 800-53 control selection and assessment methodology, continuous monitoring program design, and the ATO documentation standards that DISA and NSA programs must satisfy. Whether a student is a contractor ISSO managing ATO packages for a classified NSA program or a DISA engineer supporting the eMASS enterprise, IT Dojo's instruction is grounded in the actual tools and processes this community uses.
