DITSCAP vs DIACAP

**Update:  DIACAP is being superceded by 8510.10, DoD Risk Management Framework.  We have been calling this DIARMF or Defense Information Assurance Risk Management Framework from 2011 to 2014, because originally that is the government was calling it while they were still writing it.  **

The DIACAP will include Netcentricity, GIG and FISMA concepts. Implementations such as online status of system information assurance and annual reviews will be done in hopes of keeping information assurance visible and current.

DITSCAP	DIACAP	TARGET
System-Unique Reqirements and Metric (Risk Assessment)	Baseline DOD Controls, Standards, Tests Metrics	Mature knowledge-base Integrates DoD, Component, Mission Area, Domain, and COI IA Control & Standards
System-Unique IA Architechure	Emerging GIG and DoD Component	Robust Plug-and-Play Enterprise IA Services
Information is Seldom Current	Review NLT Annual Status driven Online Repository	Automated Certification of IA posture
No Information on Many Systems	Expanded System Boundaries = Greater Coverage Status driven Online Repository	IA Posture Visible
OVERALL
Slow	Intergrates FISMA
Difficult to Share	Intergrates Netcentricity
