Ensure all users are informed, understand their roles and responsibilities, and complete assigned security training.

System support providers are responsible for providing clear oversight, training, and documentation. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Communicating the system’s classification level and the corresponding security expectations.
  • Outlining instructions for any roles and responsibilities the user has in meeting and maintaining the MSS.
  • Defining and documenting appropriate user roles and permissions, including any restrictions based on data sensitivity or job function.
  • Delivering training that outlines end-user responsibilities for safeguarding data, maintaining secure workflows, and reporting suspected issues.
  • Ensuring users have access to up-to-date reference materials, procedures, and support resources that enable secure use of the system.
  • Regularly review and update guidance to reflect changes in system functionality, security requirements, or organizational policy.
