About us
The DIB Collective was created to ensure that Organizations Seeking Certification (OSCs) have a direct voice in the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) ecosystem and beyond.
The DIB Collective is a newly established stakeholder council within The Cyber EF.
For the first time, OSCs will have an organized forum to provide meaningful feedback and recommendations to the broader community.
The mission of the Stakeholder Council is to support and promote the attainment of cybersecurity conformity through continuous engagement with industry and government in the areas of training, education, outreach, and market facilitation.
As a member of the DIB Collective, you will have the opportunity to contribute to initiatives that include:
-Helping develop the next generation of the Cyber Marketplace (“Marketplace 2.0”)
-Collaborating with government, industry partners, and subject matter experts to build and continually improve the Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge
-Establishing a trusted source for reliable information, practical insights, and widely accepted best practices
-Promoting the value of cybersecurity conformity while strengthening and expanding the overall ecosystem
Perhaps most importantly, your perspectives will be shared with other cybersecurity stakeholder groups, including the Cyber EF leadership, Cyber AB, ESP Collective, MSP Collective, and the CMMC Industry Standards Council, ensuring that the voice of organizations pursuing certification is represented in discussions that impact the future of the program.
