Our Cyber Security group has more than 10 years of experience providing Certification and Accreditation (C&A) support to the U.S. Army and other DoD customers.
C&A involves managing IT security risk in systems using the DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP). Certification means a comprehensive evaluation of system security controls, and Accreditation means obtaining authority to operate (ATO) the system. Under DoD Directive 8500.1, all DoD information systems must undergo C&A.
The Sypris Electronics team supporting the Agent of the Certification Authority (ACA) at US Army Communications Electronics Research Development Engineering Center (CERDEC) at Fort Monmouth, NJ is one of only 15 teams in the country authorized to do C&A work for the Army.
