Information Assurance Technical (IAT) and IA Management (IAM) personnel must be fully trained and certified to baseline requirements to perform their IA duties. The policy defines IAT workforce members as anyone with privileged system access performing IA functions. IAM functions described in the Manual are for any information system, program or organization. The training, certification, and workforce management requirements of 8570.1 apply to all members of the DoD IA workforce including military, civilians, foreign nationals, local nationals, and contractors. They apply whether the duties are performed full-time, part-time, or as an embedded duty. Future updates to the Manual will incorporate additional portions of the IA workforce.
