Check Text ( C-49208r769991_chk )
Check training records for required initial and recurring (annual) training requirements every system user must undergo in accordance with Chapter 6 of the DoD 8570.01-M, Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program. Ensure 100% of initial training briefings are accomplished and at least 95% of employees have completed annual training. Note that while 100% completion of annual training is the goal, employees on extended leave. TDY or other circumstances make this a difficult thing to accomplish. All training accomplished must be documented. Anything less will be a finding. TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: In a tactical environment records should be maintained at fixed locations where IA and security staff are working. This check is not applicable to personnel in units in a mobile/field environment.
