Standards ProfilesOverviewThe Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) tasked NSA with completing a series of standards profiles. These documents identify the mandatory features for the industry standard, based on the architectural context, and address secure interoperability with enterprise services offered by DISA. The profiles describe capabilities that are achievable today. DISA has included the profiles in the acquisition documentation for the Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Program and requires that potential vendors comply with these standards profiles. NSA adopted these standards to encourage and enable enterprise-wide interoperability, information exchange, and accessibility across networks, as well as to extend information to business partners, stakeholders, and the public. Standards Profiles(files provided in PDF format)
DefinitionsFrom NSA/CSS Policy 10-11, Dated 4 May 2006 Standards Profiles: A compilation of standards citations that drive a specific program/project’s requirements. Rather than having each NSA/CSS program/project attempt to encompass all DOD mandates and other industry standards, the Standard Profile is a customized subset of these standards that apply to the effort’s unique operational, system, and technical “footprint.” In this manner, programs/projects will include the appropriate set of standards into their requirements baselines at key points in their life cycles. |
