  2. Purpose • DoD approach to Information Systems (IS) risk management on an enterprise level • Mandated Information Assurance (IA) controls and Certification & Accreditation Process to standardize and align DoD ISs • Reduce risk to the lowest level possible to maintain the integrity, security and availability of mission critical systems • Establish chain of responsibility from Information Assurance Officers (IAOs) all the way to the Designated Approval Authority (DAA) ultimately responsible for accepting the “risk” of the IS Chris Cabuzzi, DIACAP, 12/8/10

  3. methodology / approach • Assumption that all ISs have risks that cannot be completely eliminated (centered on risk management / acceptance) • DoD definition of an IS includes personnelwho use and administer the system, not just the system itself • IA controls implemented for IS dependent on Mission Assurance Category (MAC) of the system, as well as the Classification Level (CL) • Recertification / Decommissioning activities included in the IS lifecycle (including changes to IS that may affect security posture) • Goal is to obtain an “Authority to Operate” the IS Chris Cabuzzi, DIACAP, 12/8/10

  4. Parts of a diacap package • System Identification Profile (SIP) – List of system characteristics needed to register the IS with the governing DoD component • DIACAP Implementation Plan (DIP) – Defines IA controls, completion dates, responsible parties and implementation status • Supporting Certification Documentation – Validation results such as system scans and “artifacts” used to support accreditation • DIACAP Scorecard – Results of implementation of baseline IA controls and the accreditation decision of the DAA • Plan of Actions and Milestones (POA&M) – List of required actions needed to complete DIP and earn “full” accreditation Chris Cabuzzi, DIACAP, 12/8/10

  5. diacap Phases and activities • Phase 1 – Initiate and Plan • Phase 2 – Implement and Validate • Phase 3 – Make C&A Decisions • Phase 4 – Maintain ATO (Review and Update) • Phase 5 - Decommission Chris Cabuzzi, DIACAP, 12/8/10
