RIMS (Risk and Insurance Management Society) is the preeminent professional organization for enterprise risk management, founded in 1950 and representing over 3,500 organizations across 63 countries. The RIMS-CRMP is their flagship credential, while the specialized CRMP-FED track addresses the distinct risk management requirements of US federal government agencies.
Enterprise risk management has become a board-level priority across industries, and RIMS CRMP certification demonstrates the strategic and operational risk competencies increasingly expected of ERM leads, Chief Risk Officers, and senior governance professionals. The CRMP-FED is specifically valued for federal civilian and defense agency risk management roles.
