U.S. Department of Defense/Military Directive 8570.01

The U.S. DoD has developed many standards and requirements to govern nearly every aspect of daily operation and behavior, including DoDD 8570.01, “Information Assurance Training, Certification and Workforce Management,” which defines many requirements for DoD personnel and contractors regarding information security. DoDD 8570.01 requires “all DoD personnel and contractors who conduct information assurance functions in assigned duty positions to achieve very specific levels of certification,” all of which differ based on the job. This directive first came out on December 19, 2005, and the latest update incorporated Change 4 on November 20, 2015.
