January 16 2007 - 8:15AM
PR Newswire (US)
FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International,
Inc. (NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic
consulting services and solutions to federal government
organizations, announced the results of its appraisal and rating by
the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct information security
(INFOSEC) assessment services. SRA has received an INFOSEC
Assessment Capability Maturity Model (IA-CMM) version 3.1 rating.
This rating helps organizations select qualified providers to
assess the security of their information systems. The NSA rating
profile is a direct application of the Continuous Appraisal Method
using the IA-CMM to measure the maturity of the INFOSEC processes
performed within an organization. Only four companies, including
SRA, have been appraised and rated in nine different process areas
against the more rigorous IA-CMM version 3.1. This achievement in
information assurance complements SRA's Software Engineering
Institute Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) level 3
rating under the standards established by the Software Engineering
Institute. CMMI demonstrates best practices in project management
and software and systems engineering. Results are available on the
NSA INFOSEC Assurance Training and Rating Program Web site
(http://www.iatrp.com/companies.cfm). SRA's "merging of NIST
(National Institute of Standards and Technology) and NSA
requirements" as well as other tools and methods were cited by the
appraisers as best practices. SRA was initially appraised by the
NSA in 2001 and currently maintains a staff of almost 200
information assurance professionals, of which over 50 are INFOSEC
Assessment Methodology (IAM) certified and over 30 are INFOSEC
Evaluation Methodology (IEM) certified. William Bell, SRA Vice
President and Director of Information Assurance and Privacy
Solutions, commented, "NSA's rating confirms our strong
capabilities and expertise in information security. It's an
important and positive signal for clients who are interested in
improving and enhancing their information security posture." About
