Why I-Assure: People, Price, Experience

- We use your systems.  Most I-Assure employees are currently reservists or former active duty military personnel. Our success while wearing the  uniform is directly tied to your system's C&A success. We need your systems to be operational.

- We don't expect templates and other standardized documents to be profit items.  A large majority of the C&A documentation effort can be accomplished using our free software and templates. We give the documentation away so that your limited IA dollars can be used for execution and implementation. 

- Our experience.  We have participated in hundreds of successful C&A efforts.  Our successes range from large ACAT 1AM programs to commercial vendors who wish to differentiate themselves from their competitors by delivering C&A packages with their products. 

- A successful C&A effort requires more than documentation, testing and writing a POA&M.  Through our hands-on approach, we will help you design, engineer and remediate security issues to ensure your C&A success.

What does DITSCAP/DIACAP truly cost?

There is a truth our competitors don’t want you to know: Over 75% of the deliverable paperwork has been completed before they come on site. Every DITSCAP/DIACAP vendor has a library, built from past efforts and customer deliverables, that are used as templates for your effort. So why pay for something that has already been developed?

I-Assure gives you the templates upfront, for no charge.  You can download them yourself without ever receiving a sales call. We know our products are good - the Government, and our competitors, use our software tools and templates to execute the DITSCAP/DIACAP.   

We give our software and templates away so that you can focus on the implementation and execution of information security. I-Assure focuses on security engineering, technical evaluation, strategic planning and vulnerability remediation. We partner with you to ensure that your system or application meets DoD and Service-specific Information Assurance requirements

Below is an overview table containing standard DIACAP deliverables and estimated effort.

Deliverable Competitor I-Assure Cost
SIP ? $0.00
DIP ? $0.00

Engineering ? 30% of total price
Remediation ? 30% of total price

Before you invest your valuable IA dollars, ask your potential vendor the following:

  • Can you provide itemized pricing? (don't pay for items we offer for free)
  • Do you use the appropriate DISA STIGs, including manual reviews to evaluate our system? (automated tools do not cover all of the requirements)
  • Will you fix the open vulnerabilities? (we help you mitigate all open vulnerabilities)
  • Will you help staff the full C&A package through the Government chain? (we support you from beginning to end)
