RMF Training in Northern Virginia

IT Dojo delivers employer-sponsored, instructor-led Risk Management Framework (RMF) training for defense contractors, federal agencies, and DoD personnel across Northern Virginia. Since 2003, IT Dojo has served the DoD and federal cybersecurity community from its Virginia Beach headquarters, delivering RMF and information assurance training live remote online and on-site at client facilities nationwide. Northern Virginia — home to the largest concentration of DoD and intelligence community contractors in the United States — is one of the highest-demand regions for RMF-trained personnel in the country.

RMF Training for the Northern Virginia Defense and Intelligence Community

RMF is the mandatory cybersecurity risk management framework for all federal information systems under NIST SP 800-37 and all DoD information systems under DoDI 8510.01. Every information system supporting the Pentagon, DIA, NGA, NSA, DHS, and the hundreds of defense and intelligence contractor programs operating throughout Northern Virginia must have trained RMF practitioners managing the ATO lifecycle. ISSOs, ISSMs, security engineers, and program managers at organizations in Arlington, Chantilly, Reston, McLean, and Fairfax routinely need RMF training to qualify for their roles and maintain contractual compliance.
