# NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator

The NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator gives customers an operational head-start when adopting the NIST RMF. When the accelerator is downloaded and activated in the GRC applications, pre-configured policies, scopes \(profile, profile type recommendations\), indicators, risks and other GRC elements appear.

**Note:** Starting with version 10.1.0, the NIST RMF Use Case Accelerator will be supported only for customers who currently use the product. New and existing customers should consider using the GRC: Continuous Authorization Monitoring application. For details, [Continuous Authorization and Monitoring](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/continuous-risk-monitoring/grc-cam-landing-page.md).
