Synopsis of C&A Support on LAFB:

Support ACA activities for ACC/A7, specifically when it comes to AF 8510.01 reg. The list is a reference to these

• Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 8500.01E, Information Assurance (IA)

All MMS LAFB ACC/A7 personnel support the above mentioned regulation by being assigned the IAO title. We process IA Certification local housing (meaning actual certificates), Instruct all users in IAO awareness and responsibilities and work in tandem with the base level IA Office to ensure that all regulations and expectations are being met according to the AF stipulated regulations.

 

We also do accreditation packages for SIPR and NIPR.

 

At Langley, MMS uses both the ACA and NonACA Model. We are at the Implement and Test Security Configuration destination. This is the level where all IAOs are staged for support.

All this is done while ensuring that work progresses to meet required reasonable deadlines for mission accomplishment and respond to adjustments in processing due to changes in priorities and due dates.
