IA Courseware Evaluation Program FAQsAccess to the IACE Database:
Mapping Courseware:
CNSS Certificates
Access to the IACE Database:1. I've forgotten my IACE application URL, username and password - what should I do? 2. I would like others to access my account or help with data input. Whom do I contact? 3. I've submitted my mapping for review. Why can't I edit the other data in my account? 4. I am no longer the point of contact for my institution. How do I transfer the account to my replacement? 5. The head of our IA department has left or retired. How do I find out if my institution has an existing IACE account, and if so, change the point of contact information? Mapping Courseware:1. There are three mapping levels: E (entry), I (intermediate) and A (advanced); for some of the standards, must I map to all three levels or is the E level is sufficient to receive a certificate? 2. What does mapping to "ALL" of the elements mean? 3. When there are references to "agency" in the standards, e.g. "explain 'agency' policy, describe "agency" control points, is replacing "agency" with "organization" appropriate when mapping? 4. Would certified courseware need to meet every objective for each major subject area, or could curriculum covering one portion of the objectives to the stated standards be certified? 5. What is an acceptable number of courses to map to one standard? Is 10 too many? 6. Can I use the course textbooks and supplemental reading in my courseware mapping? 7. Can someone from the NIETP Office preview and consult my mapping before I submit it for review? 8. What happens if I've entered mapping into my account, but am not ready to submit it by the 31 August or 15 January deadlines? 9. I would like to certify both my graduate and undergraduate programs. Should I map the courseware from both programs? 10. My 40xx certificate expires this year and I must re-certify our courseware. Since 40xx has not changed, my original mapping is still in my IACE application. We have since consolidated the courseware into fewer courses. Can I resubmit what is currently in the database? 11. I am in the beginning stages of creating a new program for Information Systems Security; do you have any suggestions for getting started? 12. Is there any publicly available information on OPSEC? CNSS Certificates:1. Can an institution be certified in only 4011, or is an additional CNSS standard required? 2. Can you please provide information on becoming accredited for certification training? 3. Can we still issue CNSS certificates to our students if they don't take the specific courses we used to map our courseware? 4. There is a reporter for a local magazine doing an article on our CNSS mapping. Would it be possible for him to contact the NIETP Office and ask a few questions about the mapping? |
