3 Day DIACAP Course3 Day DIACAP Course

Our instructors are CISSP certified and have managed the C&A efforts on a wide variety of systems ranging from stand alone workstations to interconnected cross domain systems. The DIACAP 1 Day Boot Camp mixes instruction with real world examples of strategies and challenges faced in the DIACAP process.

DIACAP

The Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 8510.01 established the DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) to streamline the approach to the certification and accreditation process, outline roles and responsibilities, and provide visibility into the accreditation process by centralizing the accreditation authority to insure DoD ISs are uniformly secure.

Applicability

DIACAP is applicable to all DoD-owned ISs and DoD-controlled ISs operated by a contractor or other entity on behalf of the Department of Defense that receive, process, store, display, or transmit DoD information, regardless of classification or sensitivity. Information assurance (IA) is a process, not a product. IA must be embedded in a programs lifecycle to achieve success in the C&A process. Our expert instructors designed this course to teach the tools necessary to mitigate C&A risk and provide security professionals with the tools necessary to effectively implement and validate the DIACAP process.

DIACAP Course Topics The following topics include both instruction and interactive labs:
