The Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) course, taught by SecureInfo Corporation in partnership with SANS, blends lecture and hands-on exercises to introduce students to DIACAP policy (to include FISMA requirements of a comprehensive, repeatable, and auditable information security process). DIACAP covers roles and responsibilities (DIACAP team and supporting players), breaks down the DIACAP activities (into tasks, outputs, and responsible entities), hands-on exercises (creating and using DIACAP documentation and implementing IA Controls) and understanding the validation process. The Validator portion of the course takes the student's DIACAP education and turns the view from an implementor's to a validator's perspective and involves the students in the validation process for the IA Controls (DoDI 8500.2). This enhances the implementor's understanding of the validation process (for those about to be validated) and teaches the students how to assist the Certification Authority (CA) and Designated Accrediting Authority (DAA) with their C&A decision (via Validation Results) that will ultimately lead to a systems certification and accreditation, thus helping to improve the overall DoD grade on the FISMA Scorecard.

Laptops are required for this course, as each student will be asked to create documentation and participate in practical exercises that guide the students learning from introduction to DIACAP to a well-practiced plan of action for a system C&A. The laptop must have a Web browser, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Excel, and Word. Resource Kits are provided via Thumb Drives for students attending the course for in-class work as well as supplemental materials.
