Implementation of DoD Information Security Policy for Processing Accomplished at Defense Enterprise Computing Centers

Abstract

Public Law 106-398, "Government Information Security Reform," title X, subtitle G, FY 2001 Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act, requires that each agency obtain an independent assessment of its security posture. The Inspector General of each agency is to evaluate the agency's security posture based on a review of an independently selected subset of systems. The DoD uses information technology for thousands of processes that are integral to support and operational functions. Mission-critical, mission-essential, and support- function processes, or applications, reside on computer systems in Defense Enterprise Computing Centers and Detachments, which are part of the Defense Information Systems Agency. Customer applications from all DoD Components include financial accounting; personnel; pay and disbursement; materiel shipping, receiving, and storing; munitions maintenance; and weapon-systems-associated applications.
