RMF Training for San Diego's Naval and Defense Workforce
IT Dojo delivers live, instructor-led Risk Management Framework (RMF) training for defense professionals throughout the San Diego region, including personnel at Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific (NIWC Pacific), Naval Base San Diego, MCAS Miramar, and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. All courses are available live remote online with the same instructor-led format and applied process training as in-person instruction.
Serving San Diego Defense Installations
IT Dojo delivers RMF training for personnel across the San Diego naval and defense community, including:
- NAVWAR (Naval Information Warfare Systems Command) — NAVWAR is one of the Navy's primary commands for C4ISR development and sustainment, and one of the most RMF-intensive organizations in the DoD. Program offices at NAVWAR manage large portfolios of information systems requiring ATO authorization, continuous monitoring, and periodic reauthorization. ISSOs, ISSMs, SCA-Rs, and systems engineers here work with eMASS and DISA STIGs constantly.
- NIWC Pacific (Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific) — NIWC Pacific is a research and engineering organization that develops, integrates, and sustains Navy systems — all of which must pass through the RMF process before fielding. Its civilian and contractor workforce includes a large population of ISSOs and cybersecurity engineers responsible for ATO packages across a broad system portfolio.
- Naval Base San Diego — Commands and units operating information systems under RMF, with ISSOs and system owners managing ATO packages for afloat and ashore networks and command systems.
- MCAS Miramar and Camp Pendleton — Marine Corps information systems and networks requiring RMF authorization under DoDI 8510.01, with Marine Corps-specific eMASS implementations and STIG requirements.
- San Diego Defense Contractor Community — Leidos, SAIC, General Dynamics Mission Systems, and other firms supporting NAVWAR and NIWC Pacific programs, with ISSOs and systems engineers embedded in program offices managing ATO deliverables.
RMF Training for the San Diego Naval Defense Mission
San Diego is one of the most RMF-intensive defense markets in the country. NAVWAR alone manages an enormous portfolio of C4ISR information systems — networks, communications infrastructure, intelligence systems, and command systems — all of which require ATO authorization and continuous monitoring under DoDI 8510.01. NIWC Pacific sits at the intersection of research, engineering, and RMF compliance, with its personnel responsible for shepherding new system developments through the authorization process from initial categorization through ATO and beyond.
The contractor community supporting NAVWAR and NIWC Pacific is equally deep in RMF work. Large program offices embed contractor ISSOs alongside government counterparts, and contract task orders frequently specify eMASS management, STIG assessment, and ATO support as explicit deliverables. IT Dojo's RMF training addresses the DoD implementation of RMF specifically — eMASS navigation, DISA STIG application, NIST 800-53 control assessment, and the ATO documentation process that San Diego naval personnel encounter on their programs every day.
Why San Diego 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 NIST framework overviews that don't address how RMF actually works in Navy program offices.
- Live instructor-led training. Not self-paced video. RMF is a complex, process-intensive discipline. IT Dojo delivers every session live, with real-time Q&A and applied exercises grounded in the tools and documentation San Diego personnel use every day.
- Employer-sponsored training specialists. IT Dojo works exclusively with employer-sponsored students, coordinating with contracting officers, training managers, and NAVWAR program offices to streamline enrollment and documentation.
- Remote delivery for restricted facility personnel. NAVWAR and NIWC Pacific staff working on restricted programs can attend from home without travel or schedule disruption.
- Full RMF curriculum. Core RMF process, eMASS, STIG training, security control implementation — the complete toolkit for the San Diego naval defense workforce.
