Check to ensure that Individuals are familiar with pertinent personnel security regulations, such as DOD Manual 5200.02 and are aware of standards of conduct required of persons holding positions of trust, including (and especially) the requirement to report derogatory information to their local security manager. This check can be validated by: 1. Checking organizational personnel security initial and annual refresher training records to ensure that the topic of standards of conduct for individuals holding a security clearance and each individual's responsibility to self- report derogatory information to their security manager are covered. 2. Conducting a general survey of multiple employees to determine if they understand the standards of conduct and their responsibility to self-report. The results should be based on a compilation of survey results rather than a single instance of an employee who is not familiar with personal responsibilities (standards and self-reporting). TACTICAL ENVIRONMENT: The check is applicable for fixed (established) tactical processing environments AND is applicable to a field/mobile environment.
