Assessment
Assessment Objectives
- personnel or roles to be provided with initial and refresher training in the employment and operation of environmental controls are defined;
- the frequency at which to provide refresher training in the employment and operation of environmental controls is defined;
- <AT-03(01)_ODP[01] personnel or roles> are provided with initial and refresher training <AT-03(01)_ODP[02] frequency> in the employment and operation of environmental controls.

STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for AT-3(1). This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
