             a. Life-Cycle Security Planning
                                                       
                                                                                         
                   1)    discuss, when consulted, proposed changes to the SSAA;
                   2)    propose, where required, a need for recertification and reaccreditation; and
                   3)    interpret, when consulted, changes that may affect the existing certification.


             b. Documentation Policies
                  
                   1)    appraise the documentation policies for continued applicability;
                   2)    identify the documentation policies for updates; and
                   3)    verify changes against the original documentation policies.

             c.    Configuration Control/Change Management
                   
            
                   1)    appraise the configuration control for continued applicability;
                   2)    identify the configuration control in place versus that which has been
specified in the current SSAA;
                   3)    list proposed changes to the previously approved system configuration
and/or operating environment, to include system retirement;
                   4)    analyze the above changes to determine if an assessment of the impact is
required;
                   5)    outline the process for an assessment of the impact of changes to the
existing SSAA; and    
                   6)    revise the SSAA in accordance with the configuration changes.
     

             d. Maintenance of Configuration Documents

                                                       
                   1)    appraise the maintenance of configuration documents; and        
                   2)    compare the maintenance of configuration documents for conformance to
the SSAA.
                   

             e.    Periodic Review of System Life-cycle
            

                   1)    appraise the periodic review of the system/product life-cycle for
conformance to the SSAA;
                   
                   2)    initiate the periodic review of the system/product life-cycle for conformance
to the SSAA; and
                 3)    report on the periodic review of the system/product life-cycle.


           f.    Communicate Results
                                                       
                   
                 report the results of changes to the SSAA to the accreditor (DAA).

                   
           g. Convey Magnitude of Risk

            
                 identify the inherent and residual risks and the potential corrective approaches
