DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP)

While other federal agencies processing unclassified information must follow NIST standards, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has its own program, DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP). It sets the standards for risk management as it applies to DoD-connected information systems. DIACAP certification and accreditation process spells out activities, general tasks and management structure processes to maintain information assurance throughout a DoD information system’s life.
