The Phase 3 of DITSCAP C&A is known as Validation.
The goal of Phase 3 is to validate that the preceding work has produced an IS that operates in a specified computing environment.
The process activities of this phase are as follows: Continue to review and refine the SSAA Perform certification evaluation of activity.
DITSCAP (Department of Defense Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process) is a process used to ensure the security of Department of Defense (DoD) information systems. The process consists of six phases, and Phase 3 is known as Validation.
The goal of Phase 3 is to validate that the preceding work has produced an Information System (IS) that operates in a specified computing environment. This phase involves several process activities that are important for achieving this goal. These process activities include:
A. Certification and accreditation decision: This activity involves reviewing the results of the validation and recommending whether to grant certification and accreditation for the system. The decision is based on the results of the system certification evaluation and the risk assessment.
B. Continue to review and refine the System Security Authorization Agreement (SSAA): This activity involves reviewing and updating the SSAA to reflect changes that may have occurred during the validation process. This is important to ensure that the SSAA accurately reflects the current state of the system and its environment.
C. Perform certification evaluation of the integrated system: This activity involves evaluating the integrated system to determine if it meets the security requirements specified in the SSAA. The evaluation is conducted by a team of security experts who review documentation, interview system stakeholders, and perform security testing.
D. System development: This activity is not part of Phase 3. System development occurs in Phase 2 and involves designing and building the system.
E. Develop recommendation to the Designated Accrediting Authority (DAA): This activity involves developing a recommendation to the DAA regarding the certification and accreditation decision. The recommendation is based on the results of the system certification evaluation and the risk assessment.
In summary, the process activities of Phase 3 of DITSCAP C&A include performing a certification evaluation of the integrated system, continuing to review and refine the SSAA, and developing a recommendation to the DAA. The ultimate goal is to validate that the IS operates in a specified computing environment, and to determine whether to grant certification and accreditation for the system.
