Requirements NIST SOURCE

Provide practical exercises in security and privacy training that reinforce training objectives.

Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)

Practical exercises for security include training for software developers that addresses simulated attacks that exploit common software vulnerabilities or spear or whale phishing attacks targeted at senior leaders or executives. Practical exercises for privacy include modules with quizzes on identifying and processing personally identifiable information in various scenarios or scenarios on conducting privacy impact assessments.

Engineering Interpretation

Original engineering commentary written for this explorer — not NIST source text and not authoritative guidance.

No engineering interpretation has been authored for AT-3(3) yet. This section is architected to receive it — see the Requirements and Assessment sections above for the authoritative NIST source content in the meantime.

Assessment

NIST SP 800-53A REV 5.2.0

Assessment Objectives

  1. practical exercises in security training that reinforce training objectives are provided;
  2. practical exercises in privacy training that reinforce training objectives are provided.

Examine

[SELECT FROM: Security and privacy awareness and training policy; procedures addressing security and privacy awareness training implementation; security and privacy awareness training curriculum; security and privacy awareness training materials; security and privacy awareness training reports and results; system security plan; privacy plan; other relevant documents or records].

Interview

[SELECT FROM: Organizational personnel with responsibilities for role-based security and privacy training; organizational personnel who participate in security and privacy awareness training].

STIGs & CCIs

No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for AT-3(3). 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.
