• ADoDI 5200.40

• A
  100% (37)

Explanation

DoDI 5200.40 (DoD Instruction 5200.40) establishes the DoD Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process (DITSCAP) and directly governs the use and completion of the SSAA - making it the authoritative source of instructions and directions for that document. The SSAA is the central artifact of DITSCAP, capturing the security environment, requirements, and accreditation agreement between the program manager, DAA, and certifier, and DoDI 5200.40 defines exactly how that document must be structured and filled out. Since only option A is presented here, it stands as the sole correct answer with no distractors to eliminate.

Memory tip: Think "5200.40 = the SSAA rulebook" - the instruction number contains a 4 and a 0, just like the four-phase DITSCAP process it defines. If you remember that DITSCAP lives inside DoDI 5200.40, you'll always connect that instruction to anything SSAA-related on the exam.
