The Institute’s Mission is to create an Affordable, Pragmatic, and Scalable approach to digital value protection that fits organizations regardless of size, scale, and complexity.
The Institute’s Vision is to teach organizations how to build a Digital Value Management Overlay System capable of delivering the secure, digital business outcomes expected by executives, government regulators, and legal advisors
The DVMS Overlay Model enables companies of any size to build an Affordable, Pragmatic, and Scalable approach to adopting any Framework (NIST-CSF, CMMC, etc.) or Standard (ISO 27001, etc.) to deliver the secure, digital business outcomes expected by executives, government regulators, and legal advisors.
The DVMS Overlay Model provides organizations a cost-effective way to leverage existing business systems and organizational capabilities to manage their digital risk, resiliency, and value.
The DVMS CPD Model represents a simple connected layered solution designed to deliver secure digital business outcomes at each layer of a digital enterprise
The DVMS Z-X Model identifies the minimum viable business capabilities required to operationalize the DVMS Create, Protect, and Deliver (CPD) model
The DVMS 3D Knowledge Model enables communication & collaboration between those responsible for protecting organizational digital business value
The DVMS FastTrack Model represents a phased approach to adopting and adapting the DVMS CPD Model across an enterprise and its supply chain

The Institute's publications take stakeholders on a journey into the world where the ever-changing cyber threat landscape intersects with digital business risk.
The publications are designed to help organizations understand the relationship between cybersecurity and digital business value and how to leverage that relationship to create an adaptive, cyber-resilient digital enterprise.
The publications provide:
- The guidance all employees need to understand the fundamentals of digital business value and risk, its threat landscape, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and the role they play in deterring digital risk.
- The guidance practitioners and business leaders need to communicate with C-Level executives about the business value a NIST Cybersecurity program brings to existing digital business applications and employee productivity programs
- The guidance practitioners need to create an adaptive, cyber-resilient digital value management system that is fit for use, auditable for purpose, and aligned with global cybersecurity frameworks, standards, and regulations.
- The guidance executives need to create a Digital Value Management System (DVMS) capable of leveraging existing business systems (NIST-CSF, GRC, etc.) to establish a culture of Creating, Protecting, and Delivering digital business value
The DVMS Institute is partnering with industry-leading training providers to accelerate and scale an organization’s NIST Cybersecurity Framework and Digital Value Management competence.
It does this by providing NCSP®
upskilling pathways for all employees within an organization.
NCSP® Training Programs teach
- The fundamentals of digital business, its risks, what is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and the role it plays in helping organizations manage its digital risk and value
- The fundamentals of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST-CSF) and how it creates a new way to communicate with C-Level executives about the business value a NIST -CSF program brings to existing digital business applications and employee productivity programs.
- Practitioner guidance on a Fast-Track approach to assessing, engineering, implementing, and operationalizing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 800-53 controls across an enterprise and its supply chain.
- Practitioner guidance on how to create a Digital Value Management System (DVMS) capable of leveraging existing business systems (NIST-CSF, GRC, etc.) to establish a culture of Creating, Protecting, and Delivering digital business value
