DOD 8570

What is the DOD 8570 chart and what impact does it have on your career? Many jobs have a government requirement: If you are in a job where you might have access to sensitive government data, then you are required to have at a minimum of one of the certifications shown for that role (see chart). Even companies who do no business with the government are now often requiring these in similar roles.
