DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process

The DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DoDI 8510.01) Instruction was released on November 28, 2007. The DoDI 8510.01, immediately supersedes the existing DIACAP C&A Guidance and replaces DITSCAP guidance under DoDI 5200.40 and DoD 8510.1-M.

The DoDI 8510.01 Instructions mandates each DoD component to implement a comprehensive information security program for its systems based on Information Assurance (IA) Controls defined in DoD Directive (DODD) 8500.1 and DoD Instruction (DoDI) 8500.2.

ViewTrust ComplyVision™ solution has been designed to guide agency C&A teams through a structured methodology that strictly follows the NIST guidelines and helps prepare the C&A package complete with assessment, analysis and documentation. The solution also allows creation, maintenance and reporting of the Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) throughout the pre- and post-audit process.

ComplyVision™ solution provides a full view of your current security posture through self-assessment while breaking down the improvement process into straightforward, manageable and repeatable steps. Using methodical analysis, potential security gaps are identified and addressed with authentic, real-world solutions.

ComplyVision™ asset module provides comprehensive documentation and also allows you to define the dependencies between systems to create a full knowledge of the Enterprise Architecture (EA). The identification and documentation of the dependencies is the most critical requirement for conducting risk assessment and impact analysis, which in-turn are critical for risk mitigation plans including Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans (BCP/DRP).

ComplyVision™ solution creates a comprehensive and intuitive step-by-step approach to assess your preparedness.

For Continuous compliance, consider combining the ComplyVision™ solution with the ThreatVision™ solution.
