IA Control Validation In-Depth – 3 Days

The IA Control Validation In-Depth course takes the students DIACAP education and turns the view from an implementor to a Validator perspective and involves the students in the validation process for the IA Controls (DoDI 8500.2). This enhances the implementors 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, and thus helping to improve the overall DoD grade on the FISMA Scorecard.
