Remediation - Manual Procedure
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.
