NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator
The NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator gives customers an operational head-start when adopting the NIST RMF. When the accelerator is downloaded and activated in the GRC applications, pre-configured policies, scopes (profile, profile type recommendations), indicators, risks and other GRC elements appear.
Note: Starting with version 10.1.0, the NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator will be supported only for customers who currently use the product. New and existing customers should consider using the GRC: Continuous Authorization Monitoring application. For details, Continuous Authorization and Monitoring.
