DoD 8570.01-M

Functions - High level tasks required to successfully perform IA for an information system. The function indicates the tasks that an employee performs or occupational requirements to successfully perform as part of the IA Workforce. For the purposes of this Manual the IA functions have been associated with a category and level. These functions provide a means to distinguish between different levels of work. The functional level approach also encourages a broader, more integrated means of identifying what an employee must know to perform the tasks that comprise an IA position across all of the DoD Components.
