Question

Jim, your organizations IAM, has been contacted by the Program Manager to assist in implementing the DIACAP. Jim is not required to assist the PM in this activity, and should pass this activity off to the IAO (or IASO).

Answer 1

IAM stands for Identity Access Management and includes processes focused on control of user access to critical information.

DIACEP on the other hand stands for DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process and it is a process which ensures that companies  apply risk management to information systems (IS). According these explanations, the statement that Jim who is IAM in the organization is not required to assist the PM in implementing the DIACAP is false. In contrast, it is required that he works on this process.
