What is the DOD 8570 chart and what impact does it have on your career? Many jobs have a legal rule they have to follow: If you are in a job where you might have access to sensitive government information, then you must have at least one of the certifications listed for that role (see chart). Even businesses who do no business with the government are now often requiring these in similar jobs.

Here are just a few of the most popular certifications that meet the DOD 8570 requirements:
