DVMS Institute Announces Version 4 (V4) of its NIST Cybersecurity Framework Digital Value Management Cyber Resilience Certification Training Program
Rick Lemieux – Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of the DVMS Institute
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In addition to teaching organizations how to tailor NIST CSF 2.0 to their enterprise and supply chain, V4 also equips organizations with the skills to design and implement a Digital Value Management System® (DVMS) capable of integrating fragmented frameworks and systems, such as NIST CSF, GRC, ITSM, DevOps, and AI, into a unified, living overlay system that:
- Enables Adaptive Governance through risk-informed decision-making
- Sustains Operational Resilience through a proactive and adaptable culture
- Measures Performance Assurance with verifiable, evidence-based outcomes
- Ensures Transparent Accountability by unifying intent, execution, and evidence
Murrells Inlet, South Carolina — January 24, 2026 — The DVMS Institute LLC today announced the release of version 4 (V4) of its NIST Cybersecurity Framework Digital Value Management cyber resilience certification training program.
This release represents a major evolution in how organizations educate leadership, practitioners, and employees with the skills to drive a culture capable of creating, protecting, and delivering digital value across complex and volatile digital ecosystems.
The DVMS V4 certification training programs are aligned with NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 and the DVMS Institute’s newly released body-of-knowledge publications, which are included in the course materials (see below).
- DVMS Cyber Resilience Awareness Training, which includes the Fundamentals of Adopting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (2nd edition) publication
- DVMS NISTCSF Foundation Certification Training, which includes the Fundamentals of Adopting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (2nd edition) and A Practitioner’s Guide to Building Operational Cyber Resilience (2nd edition publications
- DVMS Cyber Resilience Practitioner Certification Training, which includes A Practitioner’s Guide to Building Operational Cyber Resilience (2nd edition) and Thriving on the Edge of Chaos – A Holistic Approach to Organizational Cyber Resilience publications.
Together, these advancements position the Institute’s NISTCSF/DVMS certification training programs as a practical, teachable, and certifiable Governance, Resilience, Assurance, and Accountability (GRAA) model for modern digital enterprises.
“For years, organizations have trained professionals to manage controls, frameworks, and dashboards, yet they still struggle when digital systems fail under real-world stress,” said Rick Lemieux, Executive Director and Chief Product Officer of the DVMS Institute. “Version 4 of our certification training fundamentally changes that paradigm by teaching leaders, practitioners, and employees how to govern outcomes—using evidence, behavior, and performance and not just documented intent.”
From Framework Training to Living Cyber Resilience
Traditional cybersecurity and resilience training programs often treat governance, culture, operations, and assurance as separate disciplines. This fragmentation creates compliance-focused professionals who lack visibility into how digital systems behave at scale, across boundaries, and under disruption.
Rather than replacing the frameworks and systems that underpin these disciplines, the DVMS training teaches professionals how to integrate and elevate these frameworks and systems, such as NIST CSF, ITSM, GRC, DEVOPS, and AI, into a unified operational overlay that remains adaptive as risk, technology, and business conditions change.
“Boards and executives are being held accountable for cyber resilience without a credible way to see or validate it,” said David Nichols, Executive Director of the DVMS Institute. “Our Rev 4 certification programs close that gap by training professionals to produce continuous, outcome-based assurance that leadership can trust.”
What’s New in Version 4 Certification Training
The Rev 4 training programs incorporate the latest DVMS models and methods, including:
- Governance Overlay Design — teaching how to connect strategy, authority, and execution across digital value streams
- Behavioral Decision Engineering — enabling high-trust, high-velocity decision-making under uncertainty
- Evidence-Based Assurance — replacing static compliance artifacts with observable, verifiable outcomes
- Culture as a Managed Capability — making learning, behavior, and adaptation measurable and scalable
“These programs go beyond awareness and knowledge transfer,” said David Moskowitz, Executive Director and Content Architect of the DVMS Institute. “They train professionals to operationalize governance, make behavior observable, and turn culture into a managed system that evolves faster than threats and disruption.”
Value for Organizations and Leadership
Organizations adopting DVMS V4 are better positioned to:
- Maintain operational stability amid continuous digital disruption
- Demonstrate cyber resilience across complex ecosystems and supply chains
- Meet regulatory, assurance, and certification expectations with credible evidence
- Leverage cyber resilience as a sustained competitive advantage
- Provide executives and boards a clear, evidence-based line of sight between digital operations, business performance, and enterprise value—something traditional cybersecurity training programs do not deliver.
