Abstract
The funding in this project sustains the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Program (DIACAP) and Controls Validation Testing (CVT) activities, analysis of validation results, risk assessments and reviews of proposed Program Manager/Information Assurance Manager (PM/IAM) Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for the MDA Discrimination Sensor Technology mission systems. It maintains the Certification and Accreditation (C&A) data repository, capturing the DIACAP documentation (artifacts, validation results, and Information Assurance Risk Assessment results, and Designated Approving Authority (DAA) accreditation decisions) and POA&M on all MDA information systems. This project monitors and tracks Cybersecurity mitigations detailed in Information Technology security POA&Ms. Activities include preparation of C&A documentation and accreditation recommendations to the MDA Senior Information Assurance Officer (SIAO)/Certification Authority (CA) and DAA. Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) 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 Security Management Act (FISMA).
