  • Scenario

  • 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.
