- A Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) certification with 3 or more years of experience is highly preferred.

3.3.6.2. Information Assurance

NOTE - As with any government network, DNWS networks are required to follow Defense Information Assurance - Risk Management Framework (DIARMF) guidelines. As such, Information Assurance personnel should be able to apply this framework to school house networks, as well as identify and patch network vulnerabilities using DoD-approved systems and tools. Today, DNWS networks are scanned using the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) to identify vulnerabilities. Information Assurance Technicians/Managers require a variety of skillsets to effectively patch these networks.

- Vulnerability Management & Patching

- Provide vulnerability management and actively support Certification and Accreditation (C&A) activities for DNWS-IT systems, to include: management, testing, and patching.

- Assess ACAS daily and address new vulnerabilities;

- “Addressed” is defined as patched, developing a plan of action & milestone

(POAM) or Designated Approving Authority (DAA) Risk Acceptance (DRA) request, or noted as not applicable

- Closed all vulnerabilities within one month of issuance.

- NOTE - Due to the variety of skillsets that are required to patch vulnerabilities, it is unlikely that this contract will be able to provide in-resident skillsets to close all vulnerabilities. Reach-back capabilities to the DTRA/J6 in Fort Belvoir or to other corporate experts will be required to maintain these numbers

- Not having a resident skillset does not relieve the contract of closing vulnerabilities within a month

- Not having the required equipment (SW/HW) to close the vulnerability warrants an extension until such time that this equipment is purchased by the government.

- Generate a weekly Vulnerability Management & Patching report to the Government IT lead (spreadsheet by email) with all relevant actions and information. This includes, but not limited to: new ACAS findings, open and closed vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities open greater than 30 days, number of outstanding POAMs and DRAs, and required actions to reduce or eliminate POAMs identified
