Our Mission is to provide organizations of any size, scale, or complexity an Affordable, Pragmatic, and Scalable approach to facilitating secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
Our Vision is to create accredited publications and training programs that teach organizations of any size HOW to build an adaptable and auditable overlay model capable of facilitating the digital risk, resiliency, and privacy outcomes government regulators expect.
The DVMS Overlay Model enables organizations of any size, scale, and complexity to create a standardized approach to adapting any framework or standard to facilitate secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
The overlay model provides organizations with a scalable and cost-effective way to leverage existing business capabilities and resources to facilitate secure, resilient, and auditable digital business outcomes.
The DVMS CPD Model represents a simple connected layered solution that facilitates secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes at each layer of a digital enterprise.
The DVMS Z-X Model operationalizes the CPD Model by enabling organizations to govern, assure, plan, design, change, execute, and innovate secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
The 3D Knowledge Model operationalizes communication & collaboration between the organizations responsible for facilitating the delivery of secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
The DVMS FastTrack Model represents a phased approach to adapting the frameworks and standards to facilitate secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
The DVMS Institutes programs have been adopted by governments and businesses across the globe
The DVMS publications take stakeholders on a journey into the world where the ever-changing cyber threat landscape intersects with digital business risk.
The guidance in the publications helps organizations understand the relationship between cybersecurity and digital value and how to create a digital value management system capable of delivering the secure and resilient outcomes expected by executives, government regulators, and operational stakeholders.
Publications include:
The Fundamentals of Adopting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
A Practitioners Guide to Adapting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
The DVMS Institute NIST Cybersecurity Professional accredited certification training programs teach candidates how to build an affordable, pragmatic, and scalable approach to adapting any Framework (NIST-CSF, ITSM, COSO, GRC) or Standard (ISO) to facilitate the delivery of the secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes expected by government regulators and operational stakeholders.
All courses include a copy of the corresponding DVMS Institute Publication, Certificate of Completion, Online Expert Mentoring Services, Digital Badge, and Exam Voucher.
DVMS NIST Cybersecurity Professional Courses include:
