Overview
A discrete line item for Information Assurance is established in programming and budget documentation.
Threat
Not having the ability to discern dollars associated with IA instances makes it near impossible to underscore its magnitude, thus hindering future appropriation of resources. A discrete line item for IA ensures proper tracking and forecasting of IA funding.
Guidance
Component programming and budget documentation shall include a discrete line item for Information Assurance activities within their purview.
DoD classifies this control in the subject area of “Security Design and Configuration” with a impact of “High”.
