Appendix A – Cybersecurity Workforce (CSWF) Label Guidance for the Document Preparer

CSWF Labels are provided below in accordance with SECNAV M-5239.2–

· Identifying the CSWF label will help transitioning to the CSWF requirements when the Navy directs the change

· The proper proficiency level should be chosen for each CSWF label

· IAWF xxx-I = Entry CSWF

· IAWF xxx-II = Intermediate CSWF

· IAWF xxx-III = Advanced CSWF

· Ex: IAM II = Intermediate

· The CSWF designation should be chosen based on the position responsibilities/description. Navy COOL is a quick resource for identifying this: HYPERLINK "https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/cswf/index.htm"https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/cswf/index.htm

· It is highly recommended that you cross-check requirements for CSWF designation and proficiency with requirements for the IAWF designation. This will help with transitioning between the programs.

· Ex: An Entry 41 - Customer Service and Technical Support can meet their requirements via A+, Network+ or SSCP. These align directly to someone with an IAWF designation of IAT-I (A+, CCNA-Security, Network+, SSCP)

· IAWF and CSWF requirements do not always align. Do not rely on Navy cool for the most current baseline requirement certification list. NAVIFOR provides in Excel format it as “5239.2 Appendix 4” via its site: HYPERLINK "https://usff.navy.deps.mil/sites/NAVIFOR/manpower/cswf/SitePages/Home.aspx"https://usff.navy.deps.mil/sites/NAVIFOR/manpower/cswf/SitePages/Home.aspx
