Services by
Regulatory Compliance Associates

DITSCAP, as well as NIST 800-37 C&A are processes for the identification of security risks and vulnerabilities, the agreement of corrective action plans, and their achievement for obtaining authorization to operate. 

This is typically required for connection to Department of Defense, and other Federal systems, networks, and applications.  DITSCAP is a process, not a technology, so it includes numerous supporting technologies within its framework.  NIST800-37 is now being required by most Federal Agencies for themselves and their subcontractors.

However, regardless of the use of specific solutions, with the DITSCAP process, security is not automatically verifiable or validated to meet requirements, unless the full process is utilized.

As an experienced DITSCAP service provider, we can manage your DITSCAP or C&A process or provide specific solution requirements, including documentation (policies and procedures), audits, and general oversight.

Guidance Memorandums
The DITSCAP Policy (DoD Instruction 5200.4), directs DISA to provide assistance such as information systems security engineering, security solutions, and security guidance to the DoD components in the use of the DITSCAP.  DISA was also directed to operate and maintain an on-line information assurance support environment (IASE) website.  In response to this tasking, a series of DITSCAP Guidance Memorandums (DGM's) are being developed by DISA (in coordination with the DITSCAP Working Group), to provide interim guidance and assistance for parts of the DITSCAP policy and processes that require further clarification.  (These DGM's are not intended to supercede any existing Service and Agency policy guidance related to the DITSCAP).   An updated version of the DITSCAP policy is under development by the DITSCAP Working Group, and these DGM's be superceded when the new policy instruction is signed.

Most entities, be they Federal Agencies or Subcontractors located in this area, either evacuated, were damaged, or engaged in other impacting activities.  Thus a full analysis of restart and continuity status must be performed, possibly resulting in repeating (although possibly on a limited basis) the C&A process.

We, and our partners, stand ready to assist you rapidly recertify to obtain your renewed authorization.  Please contact us at once.  Please email us at  contact @ regulatorypro . us  Also visit our C&A Site.
