Does your organization conduct regular assessments or tests to evaluate employees' understanding of role-specific cybersecurity practices?

Role-specific cybersecurity assessments help ensure that employees understand the security requirements unique to their job functions, which can significantly reduce the risk of security incidents caused by human error. These assessments should be tailored to different departments and roles, as security responsibilities vary across the organization (e.g., developers should be tested on secure coding practices, while finance personnel should be tested on recognizing financial fraud attempts). Evidence of compliance could include assessment schedules, test results, role-specific training materials, knowledge gap analyses, or reports showing improvement trends over time. Ideally, documentation would demonstrate both the assessment process and how results are used to improve security awareness programs.
