DIACAP (DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process) is a process used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that all its information systems meet certain security requirements. The DIACAP process consists of six phases that include a series of steps to achieve certification and accreditation of DoD information systems.
The DIACAP phases are:
Residual risk refers to the risk that remains after security controls have been implemented to mitigate the identified risks. The analysis of residual risk is an important part of the DIACAP process because it helps to ensure that the system's security posture is adequate to protect the information it contains.
The answer to the question is B. Phase 3 - Design and implement the security measures. During this phase, the security controls identified in phase 2 are designed and implemented, and the residual risk is analyzed to determine if the security controls are sufficient to mitigate the identified risks.
In this phase, the Security Control Implementation Plan (SCIP) is developed, which details how the security controls will be implemented. The SCIP includes information such as the implementation schedule, the responsible parties, and any special considerations or constraints that may affect the implementation of the security controls.
Once the security controls are implemented, they are tested and evaluated in phase 4, and any residual risk is reassessed. This analysis helps to determine if the security controls are effective in reducing the risk to an acceptable level.
In conclusion, the residual risk analysis is performed in phase 3 - Design and implement the security measures, as part of the DIACAP process.
