Service Operations Support (SOS-5)
Supporting the FAA since 2004, TDG has created an information assurance program for the Communications, Flight Services & Weather Engineering Group, a 500 person organization within the FAA located at the FAA’s Technical Center in Atlantic City, NJ. We develop triennial system certification and accreditation packages, perform annual security assessments, provide disaster recovery/contingency planning, COOP/contingency plan testing, and POA&M remediation tracking for all systems within the organization. Additionally, we ensured that users and managers are certified and knowledgeable by teaching three Senior System Managers (SSM) courses – a .5, 2, and 3 day course. The SSM course is a copyrighted security course for senior federal managers that was developed with our academic partner, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and NSA certified Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education. This new course (with new requirements) for what was known as the Designated Approval Authority (DAA) also combines our copyrighted Security Life Cycle that provides an understanding for senior managers of not only “what” needs to be in an Information Assurance (IA) Program but “how” to successfully implement an IA program. Our involvement is across the spectrum of Federal, NIST, DOT, and FAA information security requirements. We support the individual systems within the National Airspace System by ensuring that industry best practices are integrated into all security architecture design changes/upgrades to the systems and that the FAA managers are kept abreast of the latest technology. Cost/benefit analyses are made and presented as part of our analysis. In support of COOP and disaster recovery preparedness, we have developed and executed (in accordance with the new NIST SP-800-84, Guide to Single-Organization IT Exercises) several exercises.
