• - Support risk management and security authorization processes by maintaining traceable configuration data supporting RMF control responses, hardware/software inventories, and security documentation packages.
• - Assist in the development and maintenance of configuration item lists (CILs), baseline identifiers, version histories, and component relationships to ensure full lifecycle visibility and accountability.
• - Ensure all CM documentation is stored and version-controlled in accordance with government records retention policies and security classification guidance.
