CAP

OVERVIEW:

The Certified Authorization Professional (CAP) credential is an objective measure of the knowledge, skills and abilities required for personnel involved in the process of certifying and accrediting security of information systems. Specifically, this credential applies to those responsible for formalizing processes used to assess risk and establish security requirements. Their decisions will ensure that information systems possess security commensurate with the level of exposure to potential risk, as well as damage to assets or individuals.

The credential is appropriate for civilian, state and local governments in the U.S., as well as commercial markets. Job functions such as authorization officials, system owners, information owners, information system security officers, and certifiers as well as all senior system managers apply.

Note: The name of this certification was changed effective May 21, 2010, from Certification and Accreditation Professional to Certified Authorization Professional (maintaining the acronym CAP).  This was done to reflect updated nomenclature contained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s SP800-37 publication.
