Master Assessment Datasheet

Implementation Guidance

The organization being inspected/assessed distributes information system, system component, or information system service documentation to at a minimum, the ISSO, ISSM, and SCA, via an information sharing capability. DoD has defined the personnel or roles as at a minimum, the ISSO, ISSM, and SCA.

Validation Procedures

The organization conducting the inspection/assessment obtains and examines the information system, system component, or information system service documentation via the organization's information sharing capability to ensure the organization being inspected/assessed distributes information system, system component, or information system service documentation to at a minimum, the ISSO, ISSM, and SCA. DoD has defined the personnel or roles as at a minimum, the ISSO, ISSM, and SCA.

Compelling Evidence

1.) System security plan (SSP) will define all personnel authorized to receive documentation on information systems, services and components. Procedures for distribution will also be documented.
