[Satellite TODAY 02-09-11] U.S. Electrodynamics (USEI) commercial satellite communications services have received mission-assurance and confidentiality compliance ratings from the U.S. Department of Defense, the company announced Feb. 8.
    CapRock Government Solutions conducted an independent audit of USEI’s IA posture, which proved compliant with standards required by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for assessing the security posture of commercial satellite offerings to the Pentagon and other federal agency customers under the Future Comsatcom Services Acquisition (FCSA) contract vehicle.
   DISA’s emphasis on IA in both military and civilian federal procurements falls under national security policies requiring security measures to protect government networks and data.
