Defense Cybersecurity Assurance Program (DCAP)

The Defense Cybersecurity Assurance Program (DCAP) is a framework used by the Department of Defense to ensure that its contractors, suppliers, and other partners meet strict cybersecurity standards. It involves evaluating and verifying that these organizations have proper security measures in place to protect sensitive military information and systems from cyber threats. By doing so, DCAP helps maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of vital defense data, reducing the risk of cyberattacks and ensuring that all participants in defense projects adhere to consistent security practices.
