NISP eMASS DCSA Controls Export Spreadsheet Assistance for Cleared DoD Contractors
Arlington offers cleared DoD contractors comprehensive assistance in completing the MS Excel “Export” Spreadsheets as required for eMASS submission. The eMASS spreadsheets are essentially the control families and supporting controls derived from the NIST SP 800-53 publication, an incredibly in-depth document that’s become the gold standard for information security. The end result is ”Export” spreadsheets from eMASS with upwards of 1,650 rows that require detailed information to be input.
As for eMASS, it's a government owned, Department of Defense (DoD) web-based application with a broad range of services for comprehensive fully integrated cybersecurity management. Features include dashboard reporting, controls scorecard measurement, and the generation of a system security authorization package. In short, eMASS is used to help automate the Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process, and while a large part of the Risk Management Framework (RMF) is indeed automated with eMASS, there's still manual processes that have to be performed.
