Risk Management Framework

Sky Solutions implements a comprehensive Risk Management Framework (RMF) to ensure proactive risk identification and continuous compliance. 

Our Unique Approach

Compliance with DoD Information Assurance Requirements

Sky Solutions follows the risk management approach outlined in the Department of Defense Risk, Issue, and Opportunity (RIO) Management Guide for Defense Acquisition Programs. This includes maintaining a Risk Register that is reported monthly to the Defense Media Activity (DMA) via Sky’s monthly status report. 

Continuous Authorization Monitoring

Sky Solutions implements Continuous Authorization Monitoring to ensure proactive risk identification. This involves using integrated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions within the Digital Workflow platform to enable seamless data integration for real-time risk management and compliance.

Security Risk Alternatives Assessment

Sky Solutions employs an Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) framework to evaluate the operational effectiveness, suitability, risk, and lifecycle cost of various alternatives that address validated business and capability needs. This framework emphasizes the importance of identifying and solidifying key requirements and assumptions early in the process.

Utilization of STIGs and Fortify Scans

Sky Solutions performs Fortify scans on developed code to check for vulnerabilities and remediates any applicable findings. Additionally, Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and STIG checklists are utilized to ensure compliance with security standards.

Documentation and Authority to Operate (ATO)

Sky Solutions works with the DMA CIO office on RMF documentation in anticipation of an Authority to Operate (ATO). This includes developing documentation such as Ports, Protocols, Services Management (PPSM), Network Diagrams, Data Flow Diagrams, Hardware, Software, Firmware List Documents, and System Authorization Diagrams.
