## 6.  Procedures

6.1.  The DCIP supports a risk management process that seeks to ensure DCI availability with a priority focus on DCAs. For this particular program, the risk management process is comprised of a risk assessment component that identifies critical assets and infrastructure interdependencies that support DoD missions.  Applicable follow-on threat and vulnerability assessments are then conducted on those assets to complete the risk assessment.  Properly implemented risk assessment procedures of critical assets enable informed risk management decisions, leading to an appropriate risk response.  The risk response component ensures that limited resources are optimally allocated toward those assets deemed most important to overall mission success for the Department of Defense, and for which it has been determined that the identified level of risk is unacceptable.  These actions comprise the major elements of DCIP risk management.

6.2.  Detailed program procedures are outlined in Enclosure 3.

* This process requires continuous coordination between mission and asset owners


## E3.2.1.  Risk Assessment

E3.2.1.1.  Core Elements.  The core elements of the DCIP risk assessment process are criticality determination, threats and hazards assessment, and vulnerability assessment.  For complete and accurate risk assessment, the evaluation of each element must be accomplished (individually and collectively), as well as the assessment of the interactions and interdependencies involved (criticality, threat and/or hazard, vulnerability). E3.2.1.2.  Assessment Timeline.  A risk assessment will be conducted within 90 days of the completion of the threat/hazard and vulnerability assessments for a given DCI.  Because of the dynamic risk environment, the ASD(HD&ASAGS) or DoD Component DCI owner may require an earlier or additional DCI risk assessment to determine the need for a PPBE out-ofcycle resource decision.

E3.2.1.3.  Assessment Results.  DCIP risk assessments will result in sufficient information to support a risk decision to either accept the risk associated with the possible degradation or loss of the DCI or to adopt a COA entailing remediation, mitigation, and/or reconstitution. E3.2.1.4.  Criticality Determination.  The Department of Defense identifies DCI using a consistent, repeatable, mission-focused analysis process to identify TCAs and an effects-based analysis to identify DCAs from the list of TCAs.


E3.2.1.4.1.  The identification of TCAs is the responsibility of mission owners, asset owners, and DISLAs. E3.2.1.4.2.  The expected results from this criticality process include: E3.2.1.4.2.1.  Identification of TCAs associated with a hierarchy of METs, starting with METs identified by the Combatant Commands or Defense Agencies, by the responsibilities of the Military Departments, or by sector function.


E3.2.1.4.2.2.  DCAs, as nominated by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and approved by OASD(HD&ASAGS). E3.2.1.4.2.3.  TCAs BEI data.


E3.2.1.4.2.4.  For DoD information system-related DCI, the Mission Assurance Category of the asset as defined in Reference (ji).

E3.2.1.4.3.  The procedures for identification of DCI are as follows:

E3.2.1.4.3.1.  Combatant Commands and Defense Agencies determine their METs and supporting mission owners link their METs to the Combatant Command and Defense Agency METs.  Combatant Commands and Defense Agencies review and validate the combined list of linked METs supporting each of their METs.  Military Departments identify their responsibilities.  Sectors identify their sector functions.


E3.2.1.4.3.1.1.  Based on the list of validated, linked METs, Military Department responsibilities, and sector functions, appropriate mission owners, asset owners, and DISLAs identify the task assets (TAs) required to accomplish each. E3.2.1.4.3.1.2.  Mission owners, in conjunction with asset owners and DISLAs, review each TA to identify and nominate TCAs to their respective Combatant Commanders, Military Departments, Defense Agencies, or DISLA.

E3.2.1.4.3.1.3.  Combatant Commanders, Military Departments, Defense Agencies, and DISLAs each validate the submitted TCAs and then submit their final list of TCAs to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff DCIP OPR.


E3.2.1.4.3.2.  The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff DCIP OPR will integrate Combatant Command, Military Department, Defense Agency, and DISLA TCA submissions into a DoD-wide TCA list and then nominate a recommended list of DCAs for submission to the ASD(HD&ASAGS) at least annually. E3.2.1.4.3.3.  The ASD(HD&ASAGS) will review submitted DCA nominations, approve DCAs, and submit the DCA list to appropriate DoD Components and DISLAs.


E3.2.1.5.  Threats and Hazards Assessment.  The Department of Defense recognizes the need to establish a consistent, systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, disseminating, and forecasting threats and hazards to DCI in order to assess and respond to DCIP-related risk. E3.2.1.5.1.  The DoD Components and the DIB DISLA with assigned DCIP riskassessment responsibilities shall require the use of threat and hazard information in assessment of DCI for which they are responsible. E3.2.1.5.2.  The USD(I) or its designated authority will prepare and maintain a multidisciplinary threat baseline.  This baseline will include threats related to foreign intelligence and security services, terrorism, information operations, sabotage, and proliferation that could adversely affect DCI. E3.2.1.5.3.  The products of this threat and hazard process include:


E3.2.1.5.3.1.  A full-spectrum threat baseline covering known or suspected threat
actors and their capabilities and intent. E3.2.1.5.3.2.  An enhanced, DCI-specific threat and hazard profile resulting from
DCI owner threat and hazard analysis.
 E3.2.1.5.4.  The DoD Components and the DISLAs shall establish procedures and channels through which DCI-related threat and hazard information is communicated with subordinate elements, other DoD Components, and other authorized activities in the conduct of DCIP risk assessment and risk response activities. E3.2.1.5.5.  Mission and asset owners shall provide regional or DCI-specific threat and hazard information to appropriate DoD Components and DISLAs through established channels that will result in an enhanced, DCI-specific threat and hazard profile.  This information will be updated whenever a change occurs at a DCI that affects threats, hazards, or vulnerabilities or in response to an incident. E3.2.1.5.5.1.  Asset owners shall validate existing threat and hazard profile data and provide updates, as appropriate, during the conduct of DCIP vulnerability assessments. E3.2.1.5.5.2.  DCI owners will use validated, enhanced threat and hazard profiles in conducting risk assessments.


E3.2.1.6.  DCIP Vulnerability Assessment.  The ASD(HD&ASAGS), in coordination with USD(AT&L) and ASD(NII)/DoD CIO, will establish a DCIP vulnerability assessment process that identifies DCI vulnerabilities through the use of approved DCIP vulnerability assessment standards and benchmarks, including system and network vulnerabilities, to ensure consistent and comprehensive assessment practices. E3.2.1.6.1.  The DoD Components and DISLAs will submit annually a prioritized list and recommended timeline for the conduct of DCIP vulnerability assessments to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff OPR.  The DIB DISLA will likewise submit a prioritized assessment list for DIB DCI.

E3.2.1.6.2.  The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff DCIP OPR, as lead and in coordination with DoD Components and DISLAs, will deconflict DoD Component and DISLA
DCIP vulnerability assessment recommendations and submit a consolidated, prioritized list to ASD(HD&ASAGS) along with a timeline for these assessments.  In preparing this list, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff DCIP OPR will consider expanding the scope of a DCIP vulnerability assessment for cases in which more than one DCI is located at an installation or site.  The consolidated list will include assessments sponsored by DoD Components and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. E3.2.1.6.3.  The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff DCIP OPR, DCI owners, DIB
DISLA, or their representatives will conduct DCIP vulnerability assessments in accordance with the DCIP vulnerability assessment process.  A DCIP vulnerability assessment may be a selfassessment or may be either a DoD Component-led or third-party assessment conducted by subject matter experts. E3.2.1.6.4.  A DoD Component-led or third-party DCIP vulnerability assessment will be conducted at least once every 3 years for each DCA in accordance with a mission focus statement that lays out the scope of the assessment and its intended outcomes.  Each DCIP vulnerability assessment will result in: E3.2.1.6.4.1.  Analysis of DCA system design, operation, and supporting infrastructure for the purpose of identifying vulnerabilities. E3.2.1.6.4.2.  Assessment of vulnerabilities to damage mechanisms associated with the DCI threat/hazard profile, taking into account factors of susceptibility, accessibility, and existing countermeasures. E3.2.1.6.4.3.  The identified effect of vulnerability exploitation on asset owners and mission owners. E3.2.1.6.4.4.  Recommended COAs where mitigation or remediation is warranted. E3.2.1.6.4.5.  A formal assessment report for DoD owned assets being submitted to the OASD(HD&ASAGS) and DCIP OPRs of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, mission owner, applicable portfolio managers, and asset owner for both the installation level and Military Department or Defense Agency level that covers the elements listed in subparagraphs E3.2.1.6.4.1. through E3.2.1.6.4.4.

## E3.2.2.  Risk Management Decision

E3.2.2.1.  Upon receipt of risk assessment options, recommendations, and support information for a DCA, OASD(HD&ASAGS) will coordinate with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appropriate mission owners, the department- or agency-level asset owner, appropriate DISLAs, the USD(AT&L) and the ASD(NII)/DoD CIO to make a coordinated risk management decision; identify means to fund this decision, including advocacy to be provided; and determine the long-term solution to reducing the criticality of the DCA to the Department of Defense.  All DCA risk management decisions, to include risk acceptance, will be coordinated as outlined above and documented. E3.2.2.1.  Upon receipt of risk assessment options, recommendations, and support information for all other DCI, the asset owner will coordinate with the appropriate mission owners and DISLAs to make a coordinated risk management decision and identify means to fund this decision, including advocacy to be provided.  All DCI risk management decisions, to include risk acceptance, will be coordinated as outlined above and documented.



## E3.2.3.  Risk Response

 E3.2.3.1.  Risk response implements a decision by the DCI owner to expend resources to reduce the DCI risk or restore the degraded or destroyed DCI capability.  In the context of the DCIP, risk response consists of processes undertaken by DCI owners, mission owners, and incident management and response personnel to minimize the potential loss of DCI capability or improve the protection of DCI from known threats and hazards.  When protection fails, risk response should include plans and actions focused on DCI resiliency.  These efforts will be designed to ensure that the DCI is available to provide at least minimum functionality required to support the mission. E3.2.3.2.  The core elements of risk response are remediation, mitigation, and reconstitution.

E3.2.3.2.1.  Remediation is the responsibility of the DCI owner.  Remediation actions are intended to redress design or operational environment flaws that could have an adverse effect on the availability of the DCI, not actions to improve functionality or structure.

E3.2.3.2.2.  Mitigation is the responsibility of the mission owner in support of and in coordination with the Combatant Commander in whose AOR the DCI is located or under whose authority the DCI is placed. E3.2.3.2.3.  Reconstitution is the responsibility of the DCI owner. E3.2.3.3.  DCI owners will:
E3.2.3.3.1.  Make a DCIP risk management decision in accordance with paragraph E3.2.2. E3.2.3.3.2.  Make available to affected DoD Components and DISLAs the status of the DCI and the status and progress in implementing the risk decision. E3.2.3.3.3.  Monitor DCI status and progress in implementing the DCIP risk management decision.
