As part of this service, our staff of IA professionals develop policies and procedures, assess security controls and devise risk management plans.

Vista Defense IA Professionals assist various DoD agencies to meet the provisions of the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), and install and support a variety of infrastructure security devices and applications.

This involves Vista Defense personnel assisting our clients with categorizing their information systems, selecting applicable security controls, developing security plans with supporting documentation and assessing security controls while providing continuous monitoring.
