Version 2.2 (31 August 2020) of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency Assessment and Authorization Process Manual (DAAPM) mentions the phrase “access control" nineteen times, and for good reason. Per the DAAPM, “U.S. Government policy is that all classified information must be appropriately safeguarded to assure the confidentiality and integrity of that information,” which can only happen when appropriate access control measures are put in place. Regardless of the type of environment - MUSA, SUSA, LAN, WAN, etc., cleared industry needs well-written, comprehensive access control policies and procedures, and other supporting documentation, to be in place.
