Does your organization require annual refresher training for all employees to reinforce existing security practices and introduce new ones?
Explanation
Regular security refresher training ensures employees maintain awareness of security policies, procedures, and best practices while also introducing them to emerging threats and countermeasures. Annual refreshers help combat the natural decay of security knowledge over time and ensure staff are updated on new security requirements or organizational changes. Evidence of compliance could include training completion records, annual training calendars, training content/materials showing both reinforcement of existing practices and introduction of new security concepts, or reports showing completion rates across departments.
