Check Text ( C-49208r917543_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 percent of initial training briefings are accomplished and at least 95 percent of employees have completed annual training. Note that while 100 percent completion of annual training is the goal, employees on extended leave, TDY, or other circumstances make this difficult 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.

1. All system users must take both initial and recurring (annual) cybersecurity training based on applicable regulatory requirements that every system user must undergo, primarily in accordance with Chapter 6 of the DOD 8570.01-M, Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program. 2. Ensure 100 percent of initial training briefings are accomplished and at least 95 percent of employees have completed annual training. Note that while 100 percent completion of annual training is the goal, employees on extended leave, TDY, or other circumstances make this difficult to accomplish. 3. All training accomplished must be documented for each individual user. NOTE: DODM 8570 requirements will be met until full implementation of DODM 8140.03 requirements. Implementation dates for DOD Manual 8140.03 include a two-year timeline for personnel (civilian and military) in positions coded with cybersecurity work roles and three years for personnel (civilian and military) in positions coded with work roles in any other workforce element. The dates for required qualification would be 15 February 2025 for cybersecurity work roles and the same date in February 2026 for all Defense Cyber Workforce Framework work roles.
