What are DoD 8140 and DoDM 8140?
DoD 8140, Department of Defense Directive 8140, in combination with DoDM 8140 and DoDI 8140, collectively serve as a comprehensive set of guidelines that navigate the classification and qualification requirements for individuals serving in cyber security capacities within the United States Department of Defense. The three documents jointly accomplish the following:- Establish a mandate across the DoD for the required qualifications of members working in the DoD cyber space workforce
- Identify specific members of the DoD cyberspace workforce based on their assigned work roles
- Implement policies, assign role-based responsibilities, and outline procedures for the qualifications of personnel in the DoD cyberspace workforce
What is the DoD Cyberspace Workforce Framework (DCWF)?
The DoD Cyberspace Workforce Framework (DCWF) presents a structured taxonomy for cyberspace work roles, detailing the associated responsibilities through requirements for tasks, knowledge, and skills. When combined with DoD 8140, the DCWF establishes specific work role requirements and qualification criteria for members of the DoD Cyber Workforce.
