Task Order Title:

Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA’s) Information Assurance (IA) Support Services Background The Defense Information Systems Agency is a Combat Support Agency responsible for connecting U.S. Forces and their coalition partners to the DoD’s Global Information Technology (IT) Enterprise. DISA provides IT networks, computing infrastructure, and Enterprise services in direct support of U.S. Warfighters to facilitate the seamless exchange of information on a global scale.

The mission of DISA’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) is to, “Lead and govern the delivery and operation of secure world-wide Enterprise IT services enabling the efficient and effective execution of DISA’s global combat support missions.” In order to accomplish this mission, the DISA CIO shall:

· Provide an efficient and effective IT infrastructure and services to support the Agency’s warfighting mission.

· Achieve a Mission Assurance posture that ensures the security and continuity of the Agency’s internal IT Enterprise’s infrastructure and services against an ever evolving spectrum of threats.

· Maintain compliance with all DOD information governance policies and legislation.

· Govern a common architecture and service delivery framework to drive efficiencies in business system investments and portfolio and knowledge management capabilities.

A key component of the DISA CIO mission is Information Assurance (IA), inclusive of Risk Management, IA Training, Cyber Assurance, Public Key Encryption, and Infrastructure (PKE/I). The CIO has designated the CIO IA Division (CI-3) to serve as the DISA Designated Accrediting Authority (DAA) Representative to perform the IA function and its entire component including the development, execution, and oversight of the Agency’s IA program. As such, the CI-3 Division’s mission is to assure DISA’s information systems, assets, and enclaves possess the necessary security measures to ensure their availability, protection, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation to include monitoring, detection, discovery, and reaction capabilities of internal and external adversaries; and ensure a trained and effective information assurance workforce. The CI-3 team typically reviews 12 to 15 new and/or amended DIACAP Certification and Accreditation (C&A) packages per week, and 50 to 60 new and/or amended C&A packages per month.

The CI-3 Division must ensure that DISA’s information infrastructure and systems satisfy all applicable law, Government and DoD mandates, regulations, and directives. The CI-3 Division is responsible for providing technical security expertise in planning, preparing, oversight and execution of DISA’s Information Assurance program. The CI-3 Division must also ensure DISA’s information infrastructure and systems are compliant with all mandated DoD, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and DISA tasking orders, directives, instructions, standards, and requirements. The CI-3 division is responsible for applying these mandates, regulations, and directives and analyzing DISA’s information infrastructure or systems to determine and mitigate any security discrepancies, risks, vulnerabilities or non-compliance. Staying abreast of any new or changes to the above references, as well as emerging DoD and Industry technologies is a constant challenge for the CIO’s CI-3 Directorate.

The CI-3 Directorate is also responsible for conducting IA training classes, pertaining to DoD systems certification and accreditation policies and procedures in accordance with Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Package (DIACAP), entire DoD 8500 series, IA policies and procedures, to DISA’s Information Assurance Managers (IAM) and/or system administers (SA). This training must be conducted in support of new DoD mandates that include the requirements for all new IT devices to be PKE/I enabled. Several new directives have illustrated this point. U.S. CYBERCOM has directed the DoD to aggressively implement PKE/I with the issuance of Communications Task Orders 06-02 and 07-15. DoD implementation policy DoDD 8190.3 dated August 2002 and April 2004 directs implementation of DoD PKE/I programs, including network login, email systems, web applications, and web servers. The Directive also identifies the Common Access Card (CAC) as the PKE/I authentication token. Additionally, Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD – 12) dated 27 August 04 directs smart-card access in gaining physical access to federally controlled facilities and logical access to federally controlled information systems, while Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication dated 25 February 05 defines Government-wide Personal Identity Verification (PIV) systems for use in applications such as access to federally controlled facilities and information systems.

Objectives The overarching goal of the DISA CIO IA and Computer Network Defense Directive program is to protect, defend, and secure DISA’s Information Infrastructure and to ensure data assets and information are visible, accessible, understandable, and trusted by all authorized and privileged users, even in the face of a cyber attack. The CIO IA Team (CI-3) has been tasked to take deliberate actions to assure DISA’s Information Infrastructure is properly configured, protected, and monitored against vulnerabilities or threats.

DISA’s authority to operate networks / systems / applications / services in compliance with Federal and Department of Defense (DoD) policies is the responsibility of DISA’s CIO and the DAA. Currently, DISA has designated the same individual to serve as the CIO and DAA (hereinafter, the CIO).

The objectives of the DISA IA Division are:

· Ensure DISA’s information infrastructure and systems satisfy all applicable law, Government and DoD mandates, regulations, and directives.

· Ensure DISA’s information infrastructure and systems are compliant with all mandated DoD, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) and DISA tasking orders, directives, instructions, standards, and requirements.

· Professionalization of the IA Workforce.

· Protect, defend, and secure DISA’s Information infrastructure to ensure data assets and information are visible, accessible, understandable and trusted by all authorized users even in the face of a cyber attack.

· Assure DISA’s Information Infrastructure is properly configured, protected, and monitored against vulnerabilities or threats.

· Enhance the business processes and improve the IA posture of the DoD through widespread use of PK-Enabled applications.
