none for this control
periodic reviewEvidence produced at each review
- Completion records per individual, with coverage measured against the full population including contractors · HR system / LMS
- Evidence of regular repetition and update rather than a single induction event · HR system / LMS
- Effectiveness measurement, such as assessment results, phishing simulation trends or observed behaviour change · Endpoint management (MDM / EDR)
governing documentDocuments that govern the control
- The awareness and training programme, distinguishing general awareness from role specific training for those with defined security duties · Policy repository / GRC workspace
- Content evidence showing the material reflects current policy, current threats and the organisation's own procedures · HR system / LMS
First move
This control is evidenced by people and documents, not systems. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date. Do not try to automate it.
Common gaps auditors find
- Induction training only, with no refresh even though threats and policy have moved
- Completion measured against the employee list, leaving contractors and third party users untrained and uncounted
- Generic purchased content that never mentions the organisation's own procedures or reporting channel
- Effectiveness never measured, so a programme with high completion and no behaviour change looks successful
