Past Performance

Customer: HQ Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA)
Type of Service: Technical Support for HQ Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA)

Overview: EADS North America Defense Security and Systems Solutions, Inc. (DS3) provided Certification and Accreditation (C&A) services to HQ Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA). DS3 worked with multiple program offices to provide technical security services in support of Department of Defense Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process (DITSCAP); System Security Authorization Agreements (SSAAs); Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence Support Plans (C4ISP); and Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET) Connection Approval Process (CAP) requirements.

DS3 identified potential shortfalls and countermeasures to overcome deficiencies in an effort to prevent negative mission impact and help program managers properly manage risks to information security, infrastructure incompatibility, infrastructure requirements, sustainability, schedule, and/or funding. DS3 provided C&A services and training in support of DITSCAP.

The critical DITSCAP tasks performed by DS3 ultimately led to certification and accreditation of numerous AFSVA applications and enclaves. Our efforts also resulted in the successful issuance of Air Force Certificate of Networthiness (CoN).

DS3’s quality control program included processes to ensure delivery of quality products and services. Throughout the technical support process, DS3 employed the Total Quality Management philosophy and ensured a customer-focused approach to quality products. Engineering and technical expertise were provided for the development of Security Test and Evaluation (ST&E) Plans, countermeasure implementation, vulnerability assessments, issue resolution, patches, and application system testing. The test procedures for security acceptance testing were completed with minimal interruptions, avoiding sustained system downtime.

DS3’s interactive management approach stressed building a partnership between the contractor team and the Government. The Contract Management approach enabled a one-on-one partnership with and successful resolution of the challenges facing the Air Force Services Agency (AFSVA) mission. Lessons learned from similar projects were applied to increase the effectiveness of our management procedures and helped us focus on responsiveness.
