Certification & Accreditation

The Certification and Accreditation landscape is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate and understand, especially as the Department of Defense plans a transition from the DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) to the DoD Information Assurance Risk Management Framework (DIARMF) that adopts the NIST 800-53R3 family of controls. UCS has trained and certified personnel with secret clearance or above, who are Certified Information Systems Security Professionals (CISSP) in accordance with DoD 8570.01-M requirements and who meet Information Assurance Technical (IAT) Level III requirements.

• DIACAP (Executive Package - SIP, DIP, POA&M, and Scorecard)
