The DVMS Institute’s Certified Training Solutions teach organizations how to transform the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or any other IT Framework or Standard Based System, into a unified, adaptive, and culture-driven Digital Value Management System® (DVMS)
The DVMS offers organizations a structured pathway for integrating Governance Intent, Operational Execution, and Assurance Evidence, enabling them to demonstrate measurable resilience, regulatory alignment, and stakeholder confidence in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Through its MVC, CPD, 3D Knowledge, and FastTrack Models, the DVMS operationalizes a Governance Overlay system that unifies strategy, assurance, and operations; a Behavioral Engine that supports a dynamic structure to convert risk into resilience continuously; and a Learning System that measures, adapts, and innovates over time.
The DVMS Cyber Resilience Awareness training provides all employees with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of digital business, its associated risks, the NISTCSF, and their role in protecting organizational digital value. This investment fosters a culture that is prepared to transform systemic cyber risks into operational resilience.
The DVMS NISTCSF Foundation certification training course provides ITSM, GRC, Cybersecurity, and Business professionals with a detailed understanding of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and its role as an integrated, adaptive, and culture-driven governance and assurance management system that drives resilient, compliant, and trusted digital outcomes.
The Digital Value Management System® (DVMS) Practitioner certification training course provides ITSM, GRC, Cybersecurity, and Business professionals a detailed understanding of how to transform systemic cyber risk into operational resilience by uniting Fragmented Frameworks and Standards, such as NIST, ITSM, GRC, and ISO, into a holistic, adaptive, and culture-driven Governance, Assurance, and Accountability overlay system that keeps your digital business resilient, no matter the disruption.
The DVMS doesn’t replace existing frameworks—it connects, contextualizes, and amplifies them, transforming compliance requirements into actionable intelligence that drives and ensures sustained digital operations and performance.
By adopting a DVMS, organizations are positioned to:
For the CEO, the DVMS provides a clear line of sight between digital operations, business performance, and strategic outcomes—turning governance and resilience into enablers of growth and innovation rather than cost centers.
For the Board of Directors, the DVMS provides ongoing assurance that the organization’s digital assets, operations, and ecosystem are governed, protected, and resilient—supported by evidence-based reporting that directly links operational integrity to enterprise value and stakeholder trust.
For the CIO, the DVMS provides a structured way to align technology investments and operations with measurable business outcomes.
For the CRO, the DVMS provides a way to embed risk and resilience directly into operational processes, turning risk management into a driver of performance and adaptability.
For the CISO, the DVMS provides a continuous assurance mechanism that demonstrates cyber resilience and digital trust across the enterprise and its supply chain.
For Internal and External Auditors, the DVMS provides verifiable proof that the enterprise can maintain operational continuity under stress.

The Institute’s Mission is to build an Integrated, Adaptive, and Culture-Driven Governance, Assurance, and Accountability system that transforms Cyber Risk into Operational Resilience.
The Institute’s Vision is to create publications, accredited training curricula, platforms, and services that teach, guide, and mentor organizations on how to build that system.
Introducing the ‘Digital Value Management System (DVMS) Institute’
Over the years, digital threats and challenges have become more severe, and organizations’ responsibility to do more has increased. The DVMS Institute recognizes these emerging challenges and is committed to reshaping how organizations perceive and cope with digital risk, resiliency, and privacy management.
From the outset, the DVMS Institute’s mission was to provide organizations of any size, scale, or complexity with an affordable, pragmatic, and scalable approach to facilitating secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
In January 2017, the Institute released its NIST Cybersecurity Framework accredited certification training programs to teach organizations of any size, scale, or complexity a standardized approach to adapting the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and its informative reference control systems (NIST 800-53, ISO 27001) across an enterprise and its supply chain. In 2020, the Institute released an updated version (Rev 2) of its NIST Cybersecurity Framework training programs.
In November 2022, the Institute released its first two bodies of knowledge, providing guidance based on a Digital Value Management Overlay System to enable organizations to meet the stringent expectations of both government regulators and operational stakeholders. The Institute also released another update (Rev 3) to its NIST Cybersecurity Framework training programs, which now includes these DVMS publications as part of its courseware kit.
Today, the DVMS Institute, along with partners APMG International and TSO publishing, announces a new standardized brand identity and certification badging system to reflect not only a candidate’s understanding of how to operationalize the NIST Cybersecurity Framework but the Digital Value Management System as well to build a holistic approach to organizational cyber resilience
“We are delighted to announce the next stage for the DVMS Institute – a coherent brand identity across our ecosystem of partners and a standardized badging system for candidates. Alumni of the education programs and organizations recognize the value of being seen, as does the growing community, and we wish to make this community more visible to achieve its true impact. To achieve our mission to equip organizations with a scalable approach, the brand behind the guidance needs to stand out.
“We give a huge ‘thank you’ to our training partners, APMG and TSO for their continued support. We now look forward to sharing more news of our goals for the future and showcasing some new DVMS content via a dedicated track at the PINK24 conference in Las Vegas in February 2024.”
Rick Lemieux – Founder and Managing Partner of the DVMS Institute
We urge all to follow the DVMS Institute for guidance on “HOW TO” engineer, operationalize and continually innovate your cyber risk management capabilities. As Cloud Services revolutionized the creation and management of digital infrastructure, the DVMS NIST Cybersecurity Framework Overlay System™ revolutionizes how organizations mitigate cybersecurity risk to protect their digital business performance, resilience, and trust with their clients and stakeholders.
The DVMS Institute stands at the forefront of this rapidly changing environment, ready to guide, educate, and equip. Let’s journey together towards secure, resilient, and auditable digital outcomes.
