The DoD IA Policy Chart
Building, operating and securing the Global Information Grid (GIG) for the Department of Defense is a complex and ongoing challenge. The Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (DASD) for Cyber Identity and Information Assurance has developed a strategy for meeting this challenge, which is available here: http://iase.disa.mil/policy-guidance/dasd_ciia__strategy_aug2009.pdf. In the CIIA Strategy, the primary goal areas are as listed as follows :
- Organize for unity of purpose and speed of action (shortened to "Organize" in the chart).
- Enable secure mission driven access to information and services (shortened to "Enable" in the chart).
- Anticipate and prevent successful attacks on data and networks (shortened to "Anticipate" in the chart).
- Prepare for and operate through cyber degradation or attack (shortened to "Prepare" in the chart).

The IA Policy Chart was inspired by the creation of a similar Acquisition Security Policy Chart by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics. The goal of the IA Policy Chart is to capture the tremendous breadth of applicable policies, some of which many IA practitioners may not even be aware, in a helpful organizational scheme. The use of color, hatching, fonts and hyperlinks are all designed to provide additional assistance to IA professionals navigating their way through policy issues in order to build, operate and secure the GIG.
At the bottom center of the chart is a legend that identifies the originator of each policy by a color-coding scheme. On the right hand side of the IA Policy Chart, there are boxes, which cover the legal authority for the policies, the federal/national level of IA policies, as well as operational and subordinate level documents that provide details on securing the GIG and its assets. Links to these documents can be found in the Chart.
