New Course + Certification! Cloud Data Management Capabilities (CDMC) Framework

In partnership with EDM Council we are pleased to launch online CDMC training and certification.

The Cloud Data Management Capabilities (CDMC) Framework is the industry-standard, best practice framework for the management and control of sensitive and important data in cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments. CDMC provides organizations the ability to assess their current state cloud data management capabilities and identify gaps for remediation. It also enables cloud service and technology providers to audit and certify that their products and services support and automate key controls for the control of sensitive data in cloud environments.

The CDMC course provides a comprehensive perspective on capabilities needed to manage and control data at scale in cloud environments. The curriculum is organized into six core components covering 37 essential data management capabilities and 14 key controls. Each capability is supported by a series of requirement statements including specific objectives, implementation advice, artifacts and scoring guidance that enables the evaluation of cloud data management initiatives.

Your instructors for this course are:


  • Colin Gibson – Senior Advisor, EDM Council
