Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) is the United States Department of Defense process to ensure that risk management is applied on Information Systems (IS). DIACAP defines a DoD-wide formal and standard set of activities, general tasks and a management structure process for the certification and accreditation (C&A) of a DoD IS that will maintain the Information Assurance (IA) posture throughout the system's life cycle.

An interim version of the DIACAP was signed July 6, 2006 and now supersedes DITSCAP DOD Instruction 5200.40 and the DITSCAP application manual DOD 8510.1-M.
