It maintains the Certification and Accreditation (C&A) data repository, capturing the RMF documentation (artifacts, validation results, and Cyber Risk Assessment results, and Authorizing Official (AO) accreditation decisions) and POA&Ms on all MDA information systems. This project supports the monitoring and tracking of cyber mitigations detailed in Information Technology security POA&Ms. Activities include preparation of C&A documentation and accreditation recommendations to the MDA Senior Information Systems Security Officer/Security Controls Assessor and AO. Independent Verification and Validation team actions ensure the availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality and non-repudiation of the MDA mission, test and administrative systems. Activities in the Project are necessary to comply with the Federal Information Systems Modernization Act of 2014. The MDA Information Technology Networks and Systems and Cross Domain Solution (CDS) provide oversight and guidance for implementing standard CDS security policies across the Missile Defense System.
