Constellation / Automated Critical Asset Management System (C/ACAMS) C/ACAMS is a secure, Web-based information services portal used to
support infrastructure protection efforts at the state and local level- Provides access to a comprehensive set of tools and resources to develop and
implement comprehensive critical infrastructure programs
- Allows users to manage the collection and effective use of asset data
- Focuses on pre-incident prevention and protection but also assists in post-incident response
- Designed principally as a vulnerability assessment tool
DHS derives programmatic authority to build and manage C/ACAMS from:- Homeland Security Act of 2002
- Homeland Security Presidential Direction (HSPD) – 7: Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization and Protection
- HSPD – 8: National Preparedness
- National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP)
C/ACAMS incorporates national-level guidance to ensure consistency among state and local partners

DHS PCII Program Office The Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) Program, managed by
the DHS PCII Program Office, is designed to encourage private industry and others with knowledge about our critical infrastructure to share sensitive and proprietary business information about this critical infrastructure with the federal government
Critical Infrastructure Information (CII) Act (2002) prevents disclosure of PCII under:
- Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests
- State and local sunshine laws
- Civil litigation proceedings
C/ACAMS and Operation Archangel have implemented business processes and an automated workflow to ensure that PCII information is correctly received, validated, and disseminated in accordance with the CII Act

C/ACAMS Concept of Operations Use of C/ACAMS ensures that state, local and regional CIP programs
are consistent with the NIPP and other federal-level plans, programs, and policies
- Built around the NIPP, DHS Risk Management Framework
- Incorporates existing Infrastructure taxonomy
C/ACAMS integrates existing, emerging DHS methodologies and reporting requirements
- Build DHS-level data models to ensure consistency across IT systems
- Push to build, implement national vulnerability and risk assessment methodologies
- Allow federal, state, local, private sector to speak the same CI/KR “language”
- Will work with states and commercial vendors to ensure data consistency across tools, enable integration of existing infrastructure data management tools
8
C/ACAMS Concept of Operations C/ACAMS leverages the close relationship between local law enforcement, first
responders and the asset owner/operators- CI/KR owners/operators are a key partner in planning and use of C/ACAMS
- C/ACAMS success depends on Public/Private Partnerships (P3)
Focuses on gathering detailed, accurate asset information pre- and post-incident vulnerability and protection planning
- Supports both the “Cop on the Beat” and an Incident Commander during a major response effort
- Incorporates private sector equities through close, regular coordination and cooperation
Allows DHS to augment its collection of CI/KR data through the activities of tens of thousands of local law enforcement and emergency management personnel across the nation
- C/ACAMS CONOPS assumes that processes to identify CI/KR assets are continuous and could involve hundreds of people within a large urban area
- C/ACAMS enables the effective inventory and management of thousands of assets within these areas

C/ACAMS Tools and Resources
10
C/ACAMS Tools and Resources A CI/KR asset management system that focuses on the unique requirements and
information needs of first responders
Vulnerability and consequence scoring tools that aid the user’s subjective analysis of criticality
An integrated open source information portal, Constellation, tying together critical asset data and reporting about the current threat environment
A tailorable reporting capability to assist in answering both local and national-level data calls on critical assets
Generate Buffer Zone Protection Plans (BZPPs)
Generate pre-incident operational plans for local police and first responders
Electronically available resources for first responders, such as the DHS Daily Report, training materials, on-line manuals, and ACAMS FAQs
Integrated Geospatial Information System (GIS) and mapping for use in collection process and analysis
11
C/ACAMS Training All C/ACAMS training is provided via the CI/KR Asset Protection Technical
Assistance Program (CAPTAP)- CAPTAP is an approved technical assistance program certified and financially
supported by FEMA/NPD
- CAPTAP sessions are requested through a request-driven process initiated by States and Urban Areas
CAPTAP assists state, local officials develop and implement comprehensive asset protection programs using C/ACAMS as a “force multiplier”
- CAPTAP service includes a five-day, on-site session with follow-up consultation, as needed
- Provides attendees with an on-site assessment walk-through at a CI/KR site
To date, 1106 have attended the CAPTAP and approved for access to use C/ACAMS, with another 1000 projected during FY08

Near-term Objectives Strategic Marketing and Outreach
- Deliver a clear, consistent message on what C/ACAMS is and isn’t
Expand interaction with other DHS, federal partners to ensure coordination and consistency
- Working internally with Vulnerability Assessments Branch (VAB) on common assessment methodologies for DHS
- Expand and enhance existing relationship with the PCII Program Office
Leverage the State, Local, Tribal, Territorial Government Coordination Council (SLTTGCC)
- Coordinate customer input on C/ACAMS processes, procedures, systems, and CI/KR Protection Planning issues
Formal policies and operating procedures for:- C/ACAMS Use and Governance- Constellation- State-level C/ACAMS implementation, SOPs
Train, train, train!
14
Long-term Objectives C/ACAMS Information Technology (IT) System Development,
Operations & Maintenance- Establish production, redundant continuity of operations (COOP) IT infrastructures
- Establish a robust national roll out technical support plan
- Continue to coordinate within DHS to build, implement national vulnerability and risk assessment methodologies
Operational and Strategic Requirements- Continue to align and integrate C/ACAMS with other DHS infrastructure information
collection programs
- Continue to refine C/ACAMS to meet users needs and requirements
