DIACAP - Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process

A.

The correct answer is A. SSAA.

SSAA stands for System Security Authorization Agreement. It is a document used in the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to describe and accredit networks and systems. The SSAA is a critical part of the DoD's information assurance (IA) process, which ensures that the information and information systems of the DoD are adequately protected.

The SSAA document contains information on the security requirements, security controls, and security assessment of a network or system. It is used to evaluate the security posture of a system or network and to ensure that it meets the necessary security standards and requirements.

The SSAA process involves the identification of the security requirements for the system or network, the selection of appropriate security controls, and the implementation and testing of those controls. The SSAA document is then submitted to the appropriate DoD agency for accreditation.

FITSAF (Federal Information Technology Security Assessment Framework) is a framework for assessing the security posture of federal government IT systems. It is not specific to the DoD.

FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) are a set of standards and guidelines for federal government computer systems. They are developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and are not specific to the DoD.

TCSEC (Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria) is a set of criteria used to evaluate the security of computer systems. It was developed by the DoD and is used to evaluate the security of systems used by the government and military. However, it is not specifically used to describe and accredit networks and systems.
