Introducing the DVMS Institute and its ‘Digital Value Management System® (DVMS)

DVMS Institute Timeline

In 2017, itSM Solutions LLC released its NIST Cybersecurity Framework certification training programs

In 2020, itSM Solutions LLC released revision 2 of its NIST Cybersecurity Framework training program.

In 2022, the founders of itSM Solutions launched the DVMS Institute to support the creation and release of its first two body-of-knowledge publications, as well as the revision 3 of its NIST Cybersecurity Framework training program, which included the DVMS publications in its courseware kits.

This update not only enhanced a candidate’s understanding of how to operationalize NIST Cybersecurity Framework controls but also introduced candidates to the concept of building a Digital Value Management System® capable of assuring digital business resilience, value, and compliance through evidence-based governance

In 2024, the DVMS Institute announced a new standardized brand identity and certification badging system focused on Cyber Resilience. This update reflected the institute’s move from its NIST Cybersecurity Framework training roots to helping organizations build a Digital Value Management System® (DVMS) that orchestrates resilient, compliant, and high-performing digital value outcomes through evidence-driven governance and accountability.

In 2025, the Institute released its third body of knowledge publication, Thriving on the Edge of Chaos – A Holistic Approach to Organizational Cyber Resilience.

At its heart, the book highlights the critical role of organizational culture as the “glue” that binds strategy, leadership, and execution, ensuring sustainable digital resilience. Through actionable insights and real-world examples, it equips leaders with the knowledge to embrace complexity, disruption, and confidently manage a digital world that demands constant reinvention.

In 2026, the Institute released Version 4 of its DVMS training programs. V4 provided support for NIST CSF 2.0 updates and for adding the Thriving On the Edge of Chaos publication to the practitioner courseware kit.
