Dynetics Products for DIACAP C&A and Risk Management Receive U.S. Army Certificates of Networthiness

Jan. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 13, 2011 – Dynetics announced today that the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command/9th Signal Command, headquartered at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., recently approved Certificates of Networthiness for the Dynetics AssuredCompliance™ suite of off-the-shelf software products for managing the Department of Defense (DoD) Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP).  These Certificates of Networthiness are valid for three AssuredCompliance products – Knowledge Manager, Analyzer and Interrogator.

Based on a trusted baseline configured per the current Army Golden Master, the Certificates of Networthiness permit Army organizations to purchase AssuredCompliance products and use them on the Army’s network. Army Networthiness officials assigned the following certification numbers to the AssuredCompliance products: Knowledge Manager – 201008655; Analyzer – 201008643; and Interrogator – 21008767.  

Dynetics AssuredCompliance is an integrated suite of software solutions that enable DoD, federal civilian and other organizations to successfully create, implement and sustain an IA risk management framework per DIACAP DODI 8510 and NIST SP 800-37 regulations.  Built on a data-centric approach to information security compliance, C&A, risk management and continuous monitoring, AssuredCompliance equips organizations to collect, format, analyze and use DIACAP 8500.2 and NIST 800-53 security controls information.

As a result, most C&A and risk management tasks can be automated, eliminating 70 percent or more of current manual labor dedicated to these activities; scorecards, plans of action & milestones, report packages and other deliverables can be created and managed automatically and dynamically; organizational security status can be monitored continuously through unparalleled access to and visibility of enterprise-wide risk information; and organizations can focus more time, energy and resources on their primary missions, rather than on carrying out inefficient manual processes, by way of the automated, manageable processes facilitated by AssuredCompliance.

Dynetics AssuredCompliance consists of three web-based software products:

•Dynetics AssuredCompliance Knowledge Manager is a knowledge management solution that serves as the single, authoritative enterprise data source for system owners, certifying and accrediting/authorizing officials and other stakeholders in the risk management and C&A process.

•Dynetics AssuredCompliance Interrogator is an expert system that automates assessments of information systems’ compliance with the 90 percent or more of security controls tested through human capture of security-related information, review of documentation and evaluation of regulatory and local policies and procedures.

•Dynetics AssuredCompliance Analyzer equips users to automatically integrate vulnerability data from a range of compliance test tools in a common XML format, map vulnerability findings to security controls and capture analytical recommendations and decisions required for completing the risk management/ C&A process.

“For more than two years now, Dynetics has supported a number of DoD organizations using AssuredCompliance,” said Dr. Marc Bendickson, Dynetics CEO. “Now that our products have been officially certified as ‘networthy,’ we look forward to sharing the benefits of AssuredCompliance with other Army, DoD and federal government organizations.”
