CISSP – Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP) — Question 70

Which of the following processes provides a standard set of activities, general tasks, and a management structure to certify and accredit systems, which maintain the information assurance and the security posture of a system or site?

Answer options

• A. NSA-IAM
• B. DITSCAP
• C. ASSET
• D. NIACAP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The NIACAP (National Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process) is specifically designed to provide a structured approach for certifying and accrediting systems, ensuring their security and information assurance. The other options, while related to information assurance, do not provide the same comprehensive framework for certification and accreditation as NIACAP.
