Question 1

Which of the following assessment methodologies defines a six-step technical security evaluation?

  1. Option A:
    FITSAF
  2. Option B:
    FIPS 102
  3. Option C:
    OCTAVE
  4. Option D:
    DITSCAP
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is D. DITSCAP. This is because DITSCAP (Department of Defense Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process) is specifically designed as a structured security certification methodology that includes a formal six-step technical security evaluation process. It is used to assess, certify, and accredit information systems to ensure they meet defined security requirements before being approved for operational use. The process is carried out in multiple phases, including definition, verification, validation, and post-validation activities, followed by final review and ongoing maintenance or reaccreditation.
The other options are not correct because FITSAF is mainly focused on evaluating the maturity of security assurance practices rather than following a strict six-step technical evaluation model, FIPS 102 is a federal standard rather than an assessment methodology, and OCTAVE is a risk assessment framework used to identify and manage information security risks but does not define a six-step technical certification process.

Question 2

Which of the following professionals is responsible for starting the Certification & Accreditation
(C&A) process?

  1. Option A:
    Information system owner
  2. Option B:
    Authorizing Official
  3. Option C:
    Chief Risk Officer (CRO)
  4. Option D:
    Chief Information Officer (CIO)
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

The Certification & Accreditation (C&A) process is initiated by the information system owner, who is responsible for requesting certification and ensuring the system goes through the required security assessment process before it is approved for operation. The system owner prepares the necessary documentation, ensures the system meets baseline security requirements, and formally starts the C&A process.
The Authorizing Official (B) is responsible for the final decision to grant or deny authorization to operate the system based on risk acceptance, but they do not initiate the process. The Chief Risk Officer (C) focuses on enterprise-level risk management rather than starting system-level certification. The Chief Information Officer (D) oversees IT governance and strategy but is not directly responsible for initiating individual system C&A processes.
