DevOps & SecurityAT-3(5)_processing-personally-identifiable-information is an Agent Skill for devops & security published in the CyberStrikeus/CyberStrike repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.
Provide [organization-defined] with initial and [organization-defined] training in the employment and operation of personally identifiable information
How to use this skill
Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.
- Open your project in Codex.
- Copy and paste the prompt below.
- Review files and risks before approving any action.
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/CyberStrikeus/CyberStrike/blob/HEAD/.cyberstrike/skill/NIST/SP800-53_rev5/AT_awareness-and-training/AT-3(5)_processing-personally-identifiable-information/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/at-3-5-processing-personally-identifiable-information, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

AT-3(5) Processing Personally Identifiable Information
Enhancement of: AT-3
High-Level Description
Family: Awareness and Training (AT) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Personally identifiable information processing and transparency controls include the organization’s authority to process personally identifiable information and personally identifiable information processing purposes. Role-based training for federal agencies addresses the types of information that may constitute personally identifiable information and the risks, considerations, and obligations associated with its processing. Such training also considers the authority to process personally identifiable information documented in privacy policies and notices, system of records notices, computer matching agreements and notices, privacy impact assessments, PRIVACT statements, contracts, information sharing agreements, memoranda of understanding, and/or other documentation.
What to Check
- Verify AT-3(5) Processing Personally Identifiable Information is documented in SSP
- Confirm control is operating effectively
- Review evidence of continuous monitoring for AT-3(5)
- Verify enhancement builds upon base control AT-3
How to Test
Step 1: Review Documentation
Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for AT-3(5) implementation details. Verify the organization has documented how this control is satisfied.
Step 2: Validate Implementation
# For cloud environments, use cloud-audit-mcp tools
# For on-premises, review system configurations directly
# Example: Check if account management policies exist
grep -r "account.management\|access.control" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
Step 3: Test Operating Effectiveness
Verify the control is actively functioning, not just documented. Check logs, configurations, and operational evidence.
