Cyber Risk Advisor (CRA)
Overview
Cyber Risk Advisors are involved in almost every security and privacy requirement for Authorization to Operate (ATO) at CMS. As the subject matter experts on risk management and FISMA compliance, they advise Information System Security Officers (ISSOs) on key elements of the system authorization process.
Look in CFACTS to find out who your CRA is for a particular system. Refer to the CMS IS2P2 to learn more about the CRA's role in supporting security compliance activities.
