Incident Response Training (03.06.04) Incident Response Training

High-Level Description

Family: Incident Response Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3 Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI

Provide incident response training to system users consistent with assigned roles and responsibilities: Within [organization-defined] of assuming an incident response role or responsibility or acquiring system access, When required by system changes, and [organization-defined] thereafter. Review and update incident response training content [organization-defined] and following [organization-defined].

What to Check

• Verify Incident Response Training (03.06.04) Incident Response Training is implemented for CUI systems
• Review SSP documentation for Incident Response Training (03.06.04)
• Validate CMMC Level 2 assessment objective for Incident Response Training (03.06.04)
• Confirm POA&M addresses any gaps for Incident Response Training (03.06.04)

How to Test

Step 1: Review System Security Plan

Examine the SSP for Incident Response Training (03.06.04) implementation description and responsible parties.

Step 2: Assess Implementation

# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable

# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null

# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture

Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation

Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.

Requirement Statement

Provide incident response training to system users consistent with assigned roles and responsibilities: Within [organization-defined] of assuming an incident response role or responsibility or acquiring system access, When required by system changes, and [organization-defined] thereafter. Review and update incident response training content [organization-defined] and following [organization-defined].

Supplemental Guidance

Incident response training is associated with the assigned roles and responsibilities of organizational personnel to ensure that the appropriate content and level of detail are included in such training. For example, users may only need to know how to recognize an incident or whom to call; system administrators may require additional training on how to handle incidents; and incident responders may receive specific training on data collection techniques, forensics, reporting, system recovery, and system restoration. Incident response training includes user training in identifying and reporting suspicious activities from external and internal sources. Incident response training for users may be provided as part of 03.02.02. Events that may cause an update to incident response training content include incident response plan testing, response to an actual incident, audit or assessment findings, or changes in applicable laws, Executive Orders, policies, directives, regulations, standards, and guidelines.
