Case History: Compliance
Services for Federal Agency
WCG performed a variety of services, including system
documentation assessment, security certification and
accreditation, and other tests to assess the effectiveness of the
DSTM security controls.
A federal agency needed compliance and certification assistance.
They were responsible for coordinating technical support for the
safety and health of personnel responding to the clean-up and
recovery operations following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina
along the Gulf Coast of the United States. This agency’s technical data center contracted Wilson Consulting
Group (WCG) to provide a variety of turn-key certification and
accreditation compliance services. WCG reviewed, verified, and
tested the security controls (management, operational, and
technical) of the electronic docket management system and related
systems serving the agency’s Directorate of Science, Technology
and Medicine (DSTM).
WCG Strategies
WCG performed a variety of services, including system
documentation assessment, security certification and
accreditation, and other tests to assess the effectiveness of the
DSTM security controls. The tests included vulnerability
assessments and penetration testing, where appropriate. WCG made
recommendations for cost-effective solutions to correct identified
vulnerabilities. As a direct result of the quality of these
efforts, WCG was retained to provide remediation services. WCG provided guidance and documentation to assist the agency in
obtaining
Authority to Operate (ATO) certification for
several of the agency’s systems.
The Outcome
WCG successfully examined, evaluated, documented, and prepared
certification and accreditation tests, procedures, and approvals
for the complex multi-tiered records management applications
within the agency’s environment. We
provided guidance and documentation to assist them in obtaining
ATO certification for the following systems:
OHMS (the agency’s
health monitoring system)
Salt Lake Technical
System (SLTS)
TESS (Technical
Equipment Support System)
MAO (Medical Access
Order)
The project was delivered on time, on budget, and to the
government’s specifications. Due to the quality and timeliness of
our work, WCG was asked to expand the scope of services provided
to the agency.
