• Technical Review & Security Recommendations:
  • Conduct thorough reviews of hardware, software, and PPS requests; provide risk-based recommendations to the ISSM.
  • Assess proposed system changes for security impact and alignment with established baselines.
• POA&M and Risk Acceptance Management:
  • Review Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for closure or extension based on operational mission requirements and system owner justification.
  • Evaluate Authorization Official (AO) Risk Acceptance Requests for validity; collaborate with requestors to identify mitigations and reduce overall risk posture.
• Assessment Coordination & Liaison:
  • Coordinate pre-assessment activities and documentation reviews for DISA SCA visits.
  • Serve as the primary liaison during SCA assessments, ensuring that materials, personnel, and evidence are available and findings are addressed in a timely manner.
