The mission of the Information Assurance Division is to ensure the 5 Pillars of IA are maintained (Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Non-Repudiation, and Availability).
The IA Division has 3 Branches: IA Branch, EKMS Branch, and the CAW Branch.
The IA Branch oversees compliance with directed Information Conditions (INFOCONs are similar in nature to ThreatCons, but associated with networks and information systems instead of physical security). The IA Branch also oversees timely compliance to MCNOSC Operational Directives and Information Assurance Vulnerability Alerts. In addition, the IA Branch manages the Certification and Accreditation process. Anything being added to the NIPRNET or SIPRNET must undergo certification and accreditation and be approved by the Designated Approval Authority (DAA).
The EKMS Branch manages the MCB CPEN Encryption devices (TACLANES, STU-III’s, KIV-7), consisting of 1,114 Line Items (majority (600) are RT-1523 (PRK-119) Tactical Radios used at Training Commands & School Houses). There is an initiative underway for all Garrison EKMS to fall under the management of the Base EKMS Account and Management. We manage 19 Local Elements off the CPEN EKMS Account (O&T, Logs, Hosp, Command Center, NCIS, MCMWTC, SNCOA, WFTBn, H&S Bn, H&S Bn S3, Fleet Hosp, MCB Protocol, CPAO, SOI, CIS, AAS Bn, EOD, RSU, SES).
And finally, the Certification Authority Workstation Branch. The CPEN CAW is a Regional CAW, (MCB, I MEF, Div, FSSG, 3 MAW CPEN, 29 Palms, Yuma, and Marine Dets at: Lamore CA, Bangar WA, Travis AFB, Ft. Bliss TX, Lackland AFB TX, Ft Sill OK.

25. Questions?
Getlemen,
That concludes the overview of the CIS Department. Barring any questions or comments we have planned a tour of the area so you can meet the Marines and Civilian Marines that support our mission.
"The great uncertainty of all data in war is a peculiar difficulty, because all action
must, to a certain extent, be planned in a mere twilight, which in addition not infrequently
— like the effect of a fog or moonshine — gives to things exaggerated dimensions
and unnatural appearance."
-Carl von Clausewitz, On War
