Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (OEDIA)

The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (OEDIA) ensures equal employment opportunity, reasonable accommodations, affirmative employment, and language access for all employees and applicants. OEDIA also fosters a work environment that promotes diversity, inclusion, and accessibility to empower individuals so that they may participate and contribute to their fullest potential in support of CISA’s mission. 

Mission

To cultivate an inclusive culture that champions dignity, respect, and belonging where diverse talent is leveraged equitably to advance cyber and infrastructure security.

Vision

​Making CISA the premier place for diverse talent to work and discover.

To understand OEDIA's work is to understand our name: 

• Equity reflects our vision of fostering a systematically just, impartial, and fair environment for our employees.  
• Diversity encompasses our mission to bring together individuals of all communities, identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, cultures, and beliefs to facilitate greater understanding, acceptance, and affirmation of individual differences and unique perspectives. 
• Inclusion is the intentional alignment of our policies, procedures, and workplace practices to cultivate a culture that ensures psychological safety, encourages collaborative participation, and empowers each member of our diverse workforce to maximize the talents and skills to their full potential.  
• Accessibility is the mindful utilization of universal design and equitable modifications to our physical and cyber infrastructures to remove barriers and enable all people, including individuals with disabilities, to independently participate in every employment activity and privilege at CISA.
