Implementation example
Example from the source assessment guide (not a mandatory implementation): Your company upgraded the firewall to a newer, more advanced system to protect the CUI it stores. You have been identified as an employee who needs training on the new device [a,b,c]. This will enable you to use the firewall effectively and efficiently. Your company considered training resources when it planned for the upgrade and ensured that training funds were available as part of the upgrade project [c].
Evidence examples
Examples suggested by the source guide (not an exhaustive or mandatory checklist): Security awareness and training policy; procedures addressing security training implementation; codes of federal regulations; security training curriculum; security training materials; system security plan; training records; other relevant documents or records
Common mistakes
Treating general awareness training as sufficient preparation for specialized security responsibilities.
