Phase 1, the 'Definition' phase of DITSCAP, is precisely where the C&A level of effort is determined, main C&A roles and responsibilities are identified, and an agreement on the method for implementing the security requirements is created.

Phase 4 ('Post Accreditation') involves continuous monitoring and managing changes after a system has been accredited, not the initial planning and definition.

Phase 2 ('Verification') involves testing and verifying the security implementation and controls, which occurs after the initial definition and planning stage.

Phase 3 ('Validation') involves the formal review and approval process for the system's security posture, following the verification of controls.
