IA WORKFORCE SYSTEM ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER (IASAE) SPECIALTY LEVEL III

The 8570.01-M Manual defines the following for the IASAE Level III Position.

IASAE Level III positions are responsible for the design, development, implementation, and/or integration of a DoD IA architecture, system, or system component for use within Computing Environment (CE), Network Environment (NE), and enclave environments. They ensure that the architecture and design of DoD IS are functional and secure. This may include designs for program of record systems and special purpose environments with platform IT interconnectivity. Incumbents may also be responsible for system or network designs that encompass multiple CE and/or NE to include those with differing data protection/classification requirements.

IASAE-III.19. Assess threats to and vulnerabilities of the enclave.

IASAE-III.20. Identify, assess, and recommend IA or IA-enabled products for use within an enclave and ensure recommended products are in compliance with the DoD evaluation and validation requirements of DoD Instruction 8500.2, “Information Assurance (IA) Implementation,” February 6, 2003 and DoD Directive 8500.1, “Information Assurance (IA),” October 24, 2002.

IASAE-III.21. Ensure that the implementation of security designs properly mitigate identified threats.

IASAE-III.22. Assess the effectiveness of information protection measures utilized by the enclave.

IASAE-III.23. Evaluate security architectures and designs and provide input as to the adequacy of security designs and architectures proposed or provided in response to requirements contained in acquisition documents.

IASAE-III.24. Ensure security deficiencies identified during security/certification testing have been mitigated, corrected, or a risk acceptance has been obtained by the appropriate DAA or authorized representative.

IASAE-III.25. Provide input to IA C&A process activities and related documentation (e.g., system life-cycle support plans, concept of operations, operational procedures, and maintenance training materials).

IASAE-III.26. Participate in an IS risk assessment during the C&A process and design security countermeasures to mitigate identified risks.

IASAE-III.27. Provide engineering support to security/certification test and evaluation activities.

IASAE-III.28. Document system security design features and provide input to implementation plans and standard operating procedures.

IASAE-III.29. Recognize a possible security violation and take appropriate action to report the incident.
