About Free Risk Management Framework
The Free Risk Management Framework is a self-service tool for measuring how well an organization's security and privacy practices line up with the NIST SP 800-53 Revision 5 control catalog. Work through controls grouped by family, choose the baseline that matches your risk — Low, Moderate, High, or Privacy — and record whether each control is in place along with its owner, notes, tools and supporting evidence. Coverage is scored as you go and shown on a dashboard, and the whole assessment can be exported to a spreadsheet. Your work is saved behind a private link you can bookmark and resume on any device, with no sign-up required.
