Abstract

The CERT Resilience Management Model (CERT-RMM) is the foundation for a process improvement approach to operational resilience management. It defines the essential organizational practices that are necessary to manage operational resilience. You can use CERT-RMM to determine your organization's capability to manage resilience, set goals and targets, and develop plans to close identified gaps. By using a process view, CERT-RMM can help your organization respond to stress with mature and predictable performance.

Version 1.2 of CERT-RMM, published in February 2016, provides the model's process areas, generic goals and practices, glossary, and acronyms.
