Defense Information Systems Agency is DISA. They review and approve the Stigs.
 
The Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and the NSA Guides are the 
configuration standards for DOD IA and IA-enabled devices/systems. Since 1998, 
DISA has played a critical role enhancing the security posture of DoD's 
security systems by providing the Security Technical Implementation Guides 
(STIGs). The STIGs contain technical guidance to "lock down" information 
systems/software that might otherwise be vulnerable to a malicious computer 
attack. 
 
This at least helps answer your question.

I recommend that you contact the BMC Federal Account Manager for the USCG to 
determine when BMC will set the Smart/My IT added that should include the DB.

Subject: DISA STIG for Mongo DB (Fed Gov Environment)


**

Listers,
 
Greetings, all!
 
As a warning, if you don't know what the acronyms DISA and STIG are, this 
discussion will likely give you a headache.  If you do know what they mean, 
you've likely had a headache for a very long time.   :D
 
We're looking at an 8.1 to 9.1 upgrade of our environment and would like to use 
Smart/My IT. However, these apps require the installation of the Mongo DB 
product which has no DISA approved STIG.
 
Because we have no control over DISA's timeline, we've now decided not to 
deploy Smart/My IT until we can get an approved STIG.  We are proceeding with 
what I've termed "Vanilla 9.1".
 
Is anyone else out there in the Fed Gov space working on a Mongo DB STIG with 
DISA?  If so, I'd love to chat with you. Perhaps we can combine 
efforts/resources and get this thing moving.  Just as importantly, I don't want 
to waste resources if someone else is well into the process.
 
Thanks in advance!
 




Regards,
