PS-3(2) Formal Indoctrination

Enhancement of: PS-3

High-Level Description

Family: Personnel Security (PS) Framework: NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5

Types of classified information that require formal indoctrination include Special Access Program (SAP), Restricted Data (RD), and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).

What to Check

Verify PS-3(2) Formal Indoctrination is documented in SSP
Confirm control is operating effectively
Review evidence of continuous monitoring for PS-3(2)
Verify enhancement builds upon base control PS-3

How to Test

Step 1: Review Documentation

Examine the System Security Plan (SSP) and related artifacts for PS-3(2) 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.
