The Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) is primarily implemented by the Department of Defense (DoD) and its associated components, including various military branches and agencies. Key stakeholders include the Information Assurance Managers, System Owners, and the Designated Approving Authority (DAA), who collaborate to ensure compliance with security requirements. Additionally, cybersecurity personnel and program managers play vital roles in the execution of DIACAP processes.

This question is now outdated since the DoD has moved to RMF as their accreditation mechanism. Under RMF the team members should include the AO (authorizing official), CA (certification authority), system owner, and user representative.
Yes - At each state of the process, the IASO must be notified.
The short answer is - YES. Both the IAM and the IAO have responsibilities in implementing DIACAP. Table E3.A1.T1 of DoDI 8500.2 states that the System Identification Profile must list the members of the DIACAP team, to wit: Identify the DIACAP Team (e.g., DAA, the CA, the DoD IS PM or SM, the DoD IS IAM, IAO, and UR. Note that BOTH the IAM and IAO are listed. The acronym IASO is synonymous with IAO.
Both general management and IT management are responsible for implementing information security that protects the organization's ability to function.
