Authorization / clearance regime · ATO.

The path is the standard RMF (SP 800-37) lifecycle — categorize, select and implement controls, assess, and have an authorizing official accept the residual risk — applied to the generative-AI capability, with the AI Rapid Capabilities Cell pilots providing accelerated pathways.
