Building and Implementing a Security Certification and Accreditation Program: Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CAPcm CBK

Building and Implementing a Security Certification and Accreditation Program: Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CAP CBK demonstrates the practicality and effectiveness of certification and accreditation (C&A) as a risk management methodology for IT systems in both public and private organizations. It provides security professionals with an overview of C&A components- enabling them to document the status of the security controls of their IT systems- and learn how to secure systems via standard- repeatable processes.

This book consists of four main sections. It begins with a description of what it takes to build a certification and accreditation program at the organization level- followed by an analysis of various C&A processes and how they interrelate. The text then provides a case study of the successful implementation of certification and accreditation in a major U.S. government department. It concludes by offering a collection of helpful samples in the appendices.

Overview of the Book:

• Provides a usable approach for top-down implementation of information technology security in an organization- benefiting IS security officers (ISSOs)- security managers- certifiers- and developers
• Defines a practical approach to certification and accreditation (C&A) that can be successfully implemented in both public and private organizations
• Clarifies the official guidance that has been published on certification- accreditation- and related processes
• Offers an approach that simplifies the C&A process while still following US federal guidance
• Examines how disparate processes can be combined into a coherent- unified risk management methodology
• Describes current thinking on the topic derived from the author's real-world experience
• Enables the documentation of the status of a system's security controls

Whilst this book is not a CAP exam guide- it is the only text currently available to aid studying toward CAP certification.
