Phoenix TS Customized DIACAP Course:

This four day course delves into the details of the DIACAP process for DOD IA professionals, such as IAMs, PMs, SMs, and IT pros. We begin by covering the history of the C&A process for both the DOD and the Federal Government at large, and discovering the drivers behind the current policies.

We then cover the five activities of the DIACAP while going through practice exercises and sample systems.  Each of the DIACAP required documents are covered in painstaking detail and examples and templates are provided on a CD. We also navigate through the online Knowledge Service site, which is the source for all current information on DIACAP.  E-mass is also covered as the DIACAP document repository of choice.

Each DOD Service has slightly altered the DIACAP process to fit its needs.  At Phoenix TS this course is available in service-specific versions, i.e. "DIACAP for Department of Navy". Phoenix TS uses the best DIACAP instructors in the market.

The United States Department of Defense has listed DIACAP as "approved" certifications for its "Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program"
