About this file

The document is a Performance Work Statement (PWS) Attachment detailing Information Assurance Workforce (IAWF) Certification Requirements for the Operating and Support Cost Analysis Model (OSCAM) project. The document provides a comprehensive matrix for cyber workforce certification requirements, specifically for software developers working on OSCAM services for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division. The key task areas include model updates, enhancements, and training course development, with specific requirements for personnel certification levels (IAT II or IASAE I).

The certification matrix outlines detailed guidelines for cyber workforce qualifications, emphasizing baseline certifications from the DoD 8570.01-M manual. For the specific OSCAM project, contractors will be updating Navy-owned software package capabilities, including modifying PowerSim modeling equations and Delphi user interface code. Notably, the document specifies that contractor personnel will have no access to Navy networks, will not perform Information Assurance roles, and will not handle classified data. The certification requirements are tied to specific work roles, with a focus on ensuring appropriate technical and management certifications for cybersecurity personnel.

Reference Directions:

1. Column A: List the task area numbers from the SOW that define what they'll be doing.

2. Column B: Based on the duties and the work role descriptions on this reference page, choose the appropriate work role name and code.

3. Column C: Provide a brief description of the cyber duties the individual(s) will be performing.

4. Column D: If the position is primarily management or cybersecurity choose IAM, if it is technical choose IAT. Based on the access level (i.e., local, network or enclave) of cyber duty needed to fill the position, choose level I, II or III. All three proficiency levels (e.g., basic, intermediate or advanced) can be found at each access level.

5. Column E: Investigations are T3, unless the individual will have an .adm, .adp or work on the network in c104.

5. Column F: If the position requires local access (i.e., closed enclave) then it is IT-2. If it requires network or enclave level, then it is an IT-1 which requires a Top Secret investigation.

6. Column G: If the position requires Operating System/Computing Environment (OS/CE) training (e.g., Linux or Win10) before being engaged, it should be stated here. Otherwise, they will have 6 months to get the training once they are engaged.

*The words in red on the Table are examples and are not comprehensive. Please delete and replace with info from your contract. Once complete you can save the worksheet as a PDF to be included in your SOW.

Glossary
Core Users/MembersAll contractors who provide cyber capability (including coding/software development/web development) at the network or enclave level are core Cyber IT/CSWF members and are required to have an appropriate baseline certification that cannot be education, regardless if it is a secondary duty.
IAMInformation Assurance Management51% or more of duties are management or anyone performing cybersecurity.
IATInformation Assurance Technical51% or more of duties are technical
OS/CEOperating System/Computing EnvironmentObtained within 6 months of start date unless stated otherwise.
Baseline CertificationAs an extension of Appendix 3 to the DoD 8570.01-Manual, the above certifications have been approved as IA baseline certifications for the IA Workforce. Personnel performing IA functions must obtain one of the certifications required for their position category or specialty and level. Refer to Appendix 3 of 8570.01-M for further implementation guidance.
Cyber IT/CSWF (aka IA Workforce)Includes IAM/IAT for Cyber IT/CS Workforce
CSWFCybersecurity Workforce (subset of Cyber Workforce)Personnel who secure, defend, and preserve data, networks, net-centric capabilities, and other designated systems by ensuring appropriate security controls and measures are in place, and taking internal defense actions. This includes access to system controls, monitoring, administration, and integration of cybersecurity into all aspects of engineering and acquisition of cyberspace capabilities.
Cyber IT WFCyberspace Information Technology Workforce (subset of Cyber Workforce)Personnel who design, build (e.g., software development), configure, operate, and maintain IT, networks, and capabilities. This includes actions to prioritize portfolio investments; architect, engineer, acquire, implement, evaluate, and dispose of IT as well as information resource management; and the management, storage, transmission, and display of data and information.
