Middle Tier of Acquisition Pathway Integration with Risk Management Framework : Department of Defense , August 23 , 2023
From the document: “The Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Pathway allows organizations to rapidly prototype systems that already have existing maturity or to accelerate system maturation for rapid fielding or transfer to another long-term Pathway.
Whereas DoDI 5000.80, “Operation of the MTA,” provides policy and the Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) website provides acquisition best practices, this page provides implementation guidance on integrating MTA and RMF processes together thus enabling practitioners to use cybersecurity risk management techniques and tools to enhance this Pathway’s activities (reference (c) and (d)).
This Pathway requires minimal additional guidance beyond the need to move fast so both processes Rapid Prototyping and Rapid Fielding should follow the traditional DoD RMF process, which is iterative in nature. This page does not supersede or counteract the need to conduct AAF Pathway-specific actions.”
