The RIMS-CRMP is the only ANSI-accredited, competency-based risk management credential in the world, validating a professional's ability to analyze organizational models, design risk strategies, and implement risk processes. It demonstrates achievement of risk management knowledge, performance ability, and commitment to ethical standards.

The RIMS-CRMP-FED validates risk management competencies specifically within the United States Federal Government environment, covering enterprise risk management implementation, reporting, and alignment with OMB, GAO, and NIST standards. It is developed in cooperation with the Association for Federal Enterprise Risk Management (AFERM) and builds upon the core RIMS-CRMP credential.
