Compliant with Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8570 / 8140, get the cybersecurity training required to perform your duties as well as safeguard IT environments at ONLC Training Centers. (Note: DoD 8140 is the updated version of DoD 8570 and was created to expand the work roles covered. DoD 8570.01-m is the manual that lists the IT certification requirements. You will see both numbers referenced.)

Once you've identified your position, level and baseline certification requirements within the workforce contact ONLC to get started on the training that will help you prepare for certification. Once you've passed the authorized exam notify your manager that you're compliant. Also, certification holders must keep their IT certifications current by following the recertification policies set by their certification provider. Keeping your certification current helps to ensure longevity in your IT career.

ONLC partners with most of the certification vendors approved by the directive, so we can provide you with the best training possible. Training with ONLC will have you ready to tackle the authorized exam(s) to prove your skills and to meet your DoD requirement. Get started today with ONLC with these training options...

DoD 8570 / 8140 General Details

Department of Defense ( DoD ) Directive 8570 / 8140 requires every full and part-time military service member, defense contractor and civilian employee with privileged access to US Department of Defense information systems (IS) to obtain industry certification credentials that have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

DoD Information Assurance and Cybersecurity Personnel must be fully trained and be certified
with baseline certification
for their job category and level to perform their duties.


The training, certification and workforce management requirements of Directive 8140 /8570 apply to all members of the DoD IA workforce including military, civilians, local nationals, Non-appropriated fund (NAF) personnel, and contractors. The requirements apply whether the duties are performed full-time, part-time, or as embedded duty.

An individual needs to obtain only one of the approved certifications for his or her category or specialty and level to meet the minimum requirement.

The above table lists DoD approved IA baseline certifications aligned to each category and level of the IA Workforce. Personnel performing IA functions must obtain one of the certifications required for their position, category/specialty and level to fulfill the IA baseline certification requirement. Most IA levels within a category or specialty have more than one approved certification and a certification may apply to more than one level.

An individual needs to obtain only one of the "approved certifications" for his or her IA category or specialty and level to meet the minimum requirement. For example, an individual in an IAT Level II position could obtain any one of the four certifications listed in the IAT Level II cell.

Higher level IAT and IAM certifications satisfy lower level requirements. Certifications listed in Level II or III cells can be used to qualify for Level I. However, Level I certifications cannot be used for Level II or III unless the certification is also listed in the Level II or III cell. For example:

  • The A+ or Network+ certification qualify only for Technical Level I and cannot be used for Technical Level II positions.
  • The System Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification qualifies for both Technical Level I and Technical Level II. If the individual holding this certification moved from an IAT Level I to an IAT Level II position, he or she would not have to take a new certification.

Higher level CSSP and IASAE certifications do not satisfy lower level requirements
