Site accreditation

An accreditation where all systems at a location are grouped into a single management entity. A DAA may determine that a site accreditation approach is optimal, given the number of information technology systems, major applications, networks, or unique operational characteristics. Site accreditation begins with all systems and their interoperability and major applications at the site being certified and accredited. The site is then accredited as a single entity, and an accreditation baseline is established.
