AT-4 Training Records
Document and monitor security training; retain records for FedRAMP-defined period (5 years).
Source: FedRAMP Moderate (NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 baseline), AT-4. The statement above is our statement of the clause, read from the published text and cited so you can check it against the official text, not the instrument verbatim. Open FedRAMP Moderate (NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 baseline) in the compliance library.
A FedRAMP baseline is a subset of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5, enhancements included.
These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.
