RMF Training for Hanscom AFB and the New England Defense Corridor
IT Dojo delivers live, instructor-led Risk Management Framework (RMF) training for defense professionals at Hanscom AFB and throughout the greater Boston defense technology corridor. IT Dojo serves personnel at Hanscom's Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Digital Directorate, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MITRE Corporation, Raytheon Intelligence and Space, BAE Systems, and the broader Route 128 defense contractor community. All courses are available live remote online with the same instructor-led format and applied process training as in-person instruction.
Serving the Hanscom and New England Defense Community
IT Dojo delivers RMF training for defense professionals across the Hanscom AFB area and Route 128 corridor, including:
- Hanscom AFB — AFLCMC Digital Directorate — Air Force Life Cycle Management Center program offices managing C2, communications, and networking acquisition programs. Every system developed or acquired by these program offices must be authorized under the DoD RMF process. Program office staff, embedded government ISSOs, and contractor teams carry ongoing RMF obligations throughout the system lifecycle.
- MIT Lincoln Laboratory — A DoD FFRDC supporting advanced research programs. Lincoln Lab researchers and engineers supporting DoD-sponsored programs often work within RMF environments and may carry ISSO or technical security responsibilities tied to sponsored program requirements.
- MITRE Corporation — FFRDC supporting multiple DoD sponsors, including programs with active RMF and ATO obligations. MITRE systems engineers and program support staff frequently assist government clients with RMF documentation, control assessments, and eMASS management.
- Raytheon Intelligence and Space, BAE Systems, Leidos — Major prime contractors with significant Hanscom program presence. Embedded ISSOs and systems engineers on these programs carry direct responsibility for eMASS management, STIG compliance, and ATO documentation as contract deliverables.
- Route 128 Defense Tech Corridor — The broader Massachusetts defense technology community, where cleared firms supporting Air Force and DoD programs need RMF-trained staff to satisfy Statement of Work requirements.
RMF Training for the Hanscom Acquisition Mission
Hanscom AFB is an acquisition base. Its primary mission is developing, fielding, and sustaining Air Force command and control, communications, and networking systems. Every one of those systems must pass through the DoD RMF process under DoDI 8510.01 — categorization, control selection, implementation, assessment, and authorization — before it can be put into operational use. That means the program offices here, and the contractors supporting them, operate in a continuous RMF environment throughout the system development lifecycle.
This is a more sophisticated RMF audience than many markets. Hanscom program office staff and their contractor counterparts are not newcomers to RMF — they are experienced practitioners who deal with complex authorization challenges, inheritance decisions, and ongoing ATO maintenance as a routine part of their work. IT Dojo's training addresses the DoD RMF implementation at this level of depth: eMASS navigation and package management, DISA STIG application and assessment, NIST 800-53 control selection and tailoring, and the specific documentation requirements that Air Force program offices and their contractors must satisfy.
Why Hanscom and Route 128 Defense Professionals Choose IT Dojo for RMF Training
- DoD RMF expertise. IT Dojo's RMF courses are built around the DoD implementation — eMASS, DISA STIGs, NIST 800-53, and DoDI 8510.01. Not generic framework overviews that don't address acquisition program realities.
- Live instructor-led training. Not self-paced video. The Hanscom and Lincoln Lab audience is technically sophisticated and expects substantive instruction with real-time Q&A and applied exercises. IT Dojo delivers every session live.
- Employer-sponsored training specialists. IT Dojo works exclusively with employer-sponsored students, coordinating with contracting officers, training managers, and program offices. Documentation for training compliance reporting is provided.
