Develops and oversees privacy compliance programs and staff, supporting privacy and security leaders.
Choosing a certification for DoD 8140
What does DoD proficiency mean?
Use the DoD proficiency required for your work role by the employer or supervisor. It describes the work, not the difficulty of a certification.
- Basic: routine work with guidance.
- Intermediate: less routine work with periodic guidance.
- Advanced: complex work with little guidance.
A higher approved level also satisfies lower levels for the same role. Leave the filter at “Any proficiency” if you do not know the requirement.
What does certification approval cover?
A certification meets only the relevant foundational qualification option; on-the-job qualification, environment-specific requirements and continuing development are separate.
Sources and scope
Explicit certification mappings come from the official DoD 8140 qualification matrix v2.1, effective September 19, 2025 and checked October 17, 2026. Rows marked pending OPR validation are excluded. This directory covers the credentials in CertUp, not every qualification option in the matrix.
Confirm the work role, proficiency and accepted qualification with the employer or supervisor before choosing a credential. See the official document library for current policy and guidance.
