CSSLP: Certified Secure Software Lifecycle ProfessionalDemo

FISMA establishes the federal information-security program requirement, and OMB policy implements it by requiring authorization to process for general support systems and major applications before processing begins. In the historical certification-and-accreditation terminology, the written authorization is accreditation, supported by certification. NIST provides guidance, and FIPS publishes technical standards, rather than imposing this authorization requirement.
