(a) Purpose. On an ongoing basis, the Secretary or designee engages in a strategic talent planning process to ensure CTMS adapts to changes in cybersecurity work, the cybersecurity talent market, and the DHS cybersecurity mission.
(b) Process. The Secretary or designee establishes and administers a strategic talent planning process that comprises:
(1) Identifying DHS-CS cybersecurity work and CTMS qualifications based on the DHS cybersecurity mission as described in § 158.402;
(2) Analyzing the cybersecurity talent market as described in § 158.403;
(3) Describing and valuing DHS-CS cybersecurity work under the work valuation system described in § 158.404; and
(4) Ensuring CTMS administration and DHS-CS management is continually informed by current, relevant information as described in paragraph (c) of this section.
(c) Informing CTMS administration and DHS-CS management. The Secretary or designee aggregates information generated in the processes described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this section and information from administering CTMS, and uses that aggregated information to inform all other CTMS processes, systems, and programs under this part.
On an ongoing basis, the Secretary or designee analyzes the DHS cybersecurity mission to identify:
(a) The functions that execute the DHS cybersecurity mission;
(b) The cybersecurity work required to perform, manage, or supervise those functions; and
(c) The set of qualifications, identified in accordance with applicable legal and professional guidelines, necessary to perform that work.
On an ongoing basis, the Secretary or designee conducts an analysis of the cybersecurity talent market, using generally recognized compensation principles and practices to:
(a) Identify and monitor trends in both employment for and availability of talent related to cybersecurity, including variations in the cost of talent in local cybersecurity talent markets, defined in § 158.612(b)(1), or variations in the cost of living in those markets, or both; and
(b) Identify leading strategies for recruiting and retaining talent related to cybersecurity.
(a) The Secretary or designee establishes and administers a person-focused work valuation system to facilitate systematic management of the DHS-CS and to address internal equity among DHS-CS employees. The work valuation system is designed to reflect that:
(1) The DHS cybersecurity mission is dynamic;
(2) Cybersecurity work is constantly evolving; and
(3) Individuals, through application of their qualifications, significantly influence how cybersecurity work is performed.
(b) The work valuation system is based on:
(1) CTMS qualifications; and
(2) DHS-CS cybersecurity work.
(c) The Department uses the work valuation system to establish work and career structures, such as work levels, titles, ranks, and specializations, and the Department uses these work and career structures for purposes of talent management under this part, such as:
(1) Describing and categorizing DHS-CS employees, qualified positions, and assignments;
(2) Assessing and selecting individuals for appointment to qualified positions; and
(3) Compensating DHS-CS employees under this part, including establishing and administering one or more salary structures, described in § 158.611.
(d) The Department may also use the work and career structures described in paragraph (c) of this section for budget and fiscal purposes related to administering CTMS and managing the DHS-CS.
The provisions of 5 U.S.C. Chapter 51 regarding classification and 5 CFR part 511 regarding classification under the General Schedule, among other similar laws, do not apply under CTMS, to the DHS-CS, or to talent management involving the individuals described in § 158.103.
