DIACAP is READY
What is scary, is that my blogs are on google above some of the most informative pages about DIACAP.  For this reason, the government should have secured blogs and or forum (.mil/.gov only) to allow faster access to this kind of extremily important information.  C & A, security engineering and IA officers get information much faster than the Gov’t can publish. A security forum or secure blogs would allow some email that we get on the latest news on IA issues to be posted immediately without fear of giving out unauthorized data over the Internet.  Just one mans oppinion.
DoD 8510.bb is signed and will supercedes DoDI 5200.40 and DoDI 8510.1-M. Â
The DIACAP Knowledge Service site is up and ready to go:

What I don’t get is how to get to eMASS.Â
Unless I have read wrong, the “Enterprise Mission Assurance
Support System” (eMass)  is supposed to be the main feature for automating and streamlining the Certification and Accreditation process. It seems that you have to get some sort of software to get access to eMass. Not sure, I’m researching this while reading up on the new DIACAP documents. Â
Here is some contact information on how to get on eMass – https://diacap.iaportal.navy.mil/ks/links2/emass.aspx
