Explanation
NIACAP defines three types of accreditation. System accreditation (A) applies to a major application or general support system and is the most common type, evaluating a specific system in its operational environment. Type accreditation (B) applies to an application or system that is deployed to multiple locations - it evaluates a single instance and extends that accreditation to all identical deployments. Site accreditation (C) evaluates the applications and systems at a specific, defined location or facility. Secure accreditation (D) is not a recognized NIACAP accreditation type - this is a distractor with no basis in the NIACAP framework.
