Abstract

The funds in this project will be utilized to complete transitioning to and the sustainment of the new DoDI 8510.01 Risk Management Framework (RMF) for DoD Information Technology (IT) requirement for the MDA Sensors Directorate and conduct Security Control Assessments (SCA) activities, analysis of validation results, risk assessments and reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information System Security Manager (PM/ISSM) Plans of Action and Milestones for MDA Sensors mission systems. It also includes support for external cybersecurity assessments and penetration testing of the Sensors mission systems, both in laboratory-based Enterprise Cyber Range Experiments and in ground test activities, in accordance with the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) directive. It maintains the Certification and Accreditation (C&A) data repository, capturing the RMF documentation (artifacts, validation results, Cybersecurity Risk Assessment results, cybersecurity scorecard, and Authorizing Official (AO) authorization decisions) and POA&Ms for all MDA information systems.
