SECURITY AUDIT

Certification and Accreditation (C&A)

WareOnEarth Communication’s (WCI) Certification and Accreditation (C&A) Team provides assistance to Federal, Department of Defense (DoD) or commercial organizations in meeting agency and/or federal laws related to the overall security posture of the organization.

Information Security is not only a technology issue, but also a people and business issue. The threat to information is real; an unsecured computer can enable a hacker to shut down a business indefinitely. A competitor who knows your business or product secrets can potentially drive you out of business. Consumers who are not confident about their privacy may look elsewhere to conduct their business. Corporate Information Security is no longer a luxury but a necessity as a business enabler, a differentiator from competitors, and in many cases, a requirement of federal law.

Information Security Becomes Law

As concern has grown about the integrity of the information systems utilized by public and private enterprises, federal policymakers have taken notice by passing several laws and regulations. On the federal level, Security Certification and Accreditation is mandated by the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 for all Federal Information Systems, and DoD Directive 8500.1, “Information Assurance” for all DoD Information Systems. These directives establish policy to achieve information assurance (IA) through a defense- in-depth approach that integrates the capabilities of personnel, operations, and technology, and supports the evolution towards network-centric warfare.

Documentation, Testing, and Management

WCI’s C&A team has a breadth and depth of experience in providing its customers with programmatic and technical organizational support that is cost effective, timely and in compliance with DoD Security Program Requirements.
