SCA-V certification refers to the accreditation or qualification process for individuals or firms to perform security control assessments, often requiring A2LA ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation for 3PAOs.
What are the SCA-V audit requirements?
SCA-V audit requirements include categorizing systems (CIA triad), selecting NIST 800-53 controls with overlays, developing an SSP/SAP, conducting assessments, and producing a SAR for ATO approval.
Who conducts SCA-V audits?
SCA-V audits are conducted by accredited 3PAOs (e.g., Lazarus Alliance) or internal assessors certified under NSTISSI 4015 standards.

Security categorization assigns Low, Moderate, or High impact levels to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA), per CNSSI 1253, to select appropriate controls.
