DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) was based on the controls identified in Department of Defense Directive 8500.1 and Department of Defense Instruction 8500.2. Controls were assigned based on categorizing the system according to Confidentiality (Confidentiality Level - aka "CL" Classified/Sensitive/Public) and Availability (Mission Assurance Category - aka "MAC" I/II/III).

Risk Management Framework (RMF) for DoD Information Technology (IT) replaced DIACAP when the new DoDI 8510.01 was issued on March 12, 2014. Under RMF, systems are categorized according to their requirements for Confidentiality (High/Moderate/Low), Integrity (High/Moderate/Low) and Avaliability (High/Moderate/Low). The controls are further tailored/enhanced by adding addtional control overlays according to whether the system is Classified and/or whether it contains PII. The Navy has added a further overlay based on the CyberSafe grade for the system. All of the controls are derived from NIST SP 800.53 (as of September 2017, in Revision 4).

Where DIACAP had a couple hundred controls to address, RMF has potentially more than a thousand to consider - based on the base control and control enhancements. The greater number of controls is due to greater granularity of the the controls, the addition of more controls addressing Integrity, and many new controls imposing cybersecurity requirements for the supply chain and contracting.
