Cybersecurity Certifications & DoD Compliance
DoD Directives: 8570 and 8140
-
DoD Directive 8570: Previously mandated approved Information Assurance (IA) certifications for personnel in IA roles.
-
DoD Directive 8140 (DoDM 8140.03): Published in February 2023, this directive replaces 8570 with a more flexible, framework-driven approach based on the DoD Cyberspace Workforce Framework (DCWF).
Under 8140, personnel are aligned with specific DCWF-defined work roles (currently 72 in number) and can meet qualification through either certified training or certification options. The shift emphasizes inclusivity, flexibility, and tracking of workforce progress and diversity.
By February 2025, all DoD civilians and military personnel in cybersecurity-aligned roles must meet 8140 qualifications.
Why It Matters for Your Organization
-
Stay Eligible: Compliance with DoD 8140 is required to perform IT or cyber-related duties within the DoD ecosystem—a non-negotiable for both personnel and organizations.
-
Expanded Career Opportunities: Certified learners gain alignment with a wider variety of roles across seven workforce elements—from AI to cyber defense.
-
Broader Impact: Industry-recognized certifications are portable and enhance employability both within and beyond DoD, benefiting veterans and contractors alike.
