Drive a federal system through the NIST Risk Management Framework (SP 800-37 Rev 2) to an Authorization to Operate (ATO): Prepare, Categorize (FIPS 199), Select a control baseline (FIPS 200 / SP 800-53 Rev 5), Implement, Assess (SP 800-53A), Authorize, and Monitor continuously. Use when a system needs an ATO or a renewal, when working a FISMA/FedRAMP authorization package, when building or reviewing an SSP, SAR, or POA&M, when categorizing a system as Low/Moderate/High impact, when selecting…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Executing the NIST RMF to an Authorization to Operate (ATO) ## When to Use - When a federal or federally-aligned system (or a FedRAMP cloud service) needs an **Authorization to Operate**, a re-authorization, or has fallen out of authorization. - When you must produce or review the core authorization artifacts: **System Security Plan (SSP)**, **Security Assessment Report (SAR)**, and **Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M)**. - When categorizing a system's impact level (Low / Moderate / High) under **FIPS 199**. - When selecting, tailoring, or implementing a **NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5** control baseline. - When standing up **continuous monitoring (ConMon)** or pursuing **ongoing authorization / cATO** after an initial ATO. ## Prerequisites - A defined **system** and **authorization boundary** (what's in, what's inherited, what's a leveraged service). - An identified **Authorizing Official (AO)**, **System Owner**, and **ISSO**. - The information types the system handles (use **SP 800-60** to map them to impact levels). - For cloud: the provider's **Customer Responsibility Matrix (CRM)** and any inherited/leveraged ATO. …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/executing-nist-rmf-authorization-to-operate@sha256:48c8e110fd95a5cbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
