Architecturally the solution was provisioned in a Microsoft FedRAMP approved Azure environment, and program activities included creation and maintenance of a security boundary in the Department of the Interior Cyber Security Assessment and Management CSAM system. IT security staff were led through Authority to Operate authorization tasks to align the D365R deployment with Federal Information Security Modernization Act FISMA requirements, while operations teams continued operations and maintenance of existing point of sale applications and hardware concurrent with the rollout.
Program governance emphasized Information Technology Adoption and Information Security, with responsibilities spanning IT management, capital planning and investment control, development modernization and enhancement, operations and maintenance, quality control and assurance, and information and technology cyber security.
