NDU Faculty & Staff Cybersecurity Compliance Requirements for Network Accounts

 

NDU provides its workforce with access to the Internet, wireless networks, learning management systems, and research tools via DoD owned, managed, or compliant Information Systems. Access is predicated on user compliance with DoD and NDU Cybersecurity regulations and requirements via the following:

  • Registration in Joint Knowledge Online (JKO), including correct association with your NDU Primary or Secondary Organization and Joint Staff Audience group;
  • A certificate of completion ("CyberCert") for the most recent DoD Cyber Awareness Challenge recorded and visible in JKO; 
  • An NDU System Authorization Access Request Form 2875 ("2875") completed and signed by the user and their supervisor.

 

JKO Registration and Profile Maintenance

All NDU personnel are required to register themselves in JKO and maintain up-to-date information in their JKO Profile for the entire term of their employment by, assignment to, detail to, or contract with NDU. JKO Profile fields include Name, EDIPI (CAC number), Account Type, Pay Grade, Branch of Service, Duty Station, Business Email, Primary and/or Secondary Organization, and Audience. On-boarding NDU personnel should complete their JKO Profile using the "JKO Profile Completion Matrix" (Table 1) and "JKO Profile Screenshot and Guidance" (Figure 1), below:
