Control 3.2.3

★What This Means in Plain English

Employees should be trained to recognize the warning signs that a coworker may be a security threat, whether intentionally or accidentally. They need to know how to report suspicious behavior safely and confidentially.

✓How Petronella Implements This Control

Petronella Technology Group implements this control through:

• Annual insider threat awareness training module covering behavioral indicators and reporting procedures
• Anonymous reporting mechanism for employees to report suspicious activity
• Arctic Wolf SIEM with User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) detecting anomalous insider activity
• CrowdStrike Falcon monitoring for data exfiltration patterns and abnormal file access
• ComplianceArmor documenting the insider threat program and reporting procedures

🔎Assessment Guidance

Assessors will verify that insider threat training is included in the awareness program, review training content for adequacy of insider threat indicators, check that a reporting mechanism exists, and confirm that training records show all personnel completed insider threat awareness.

⚠Common Implementation Gaps

• No insider threat component in security awareness training
• No anonymous or confidential reporting mechanism
• Training focuses only on external threats, not insiders
• No behavioral analytics monitoring for insider threats
• Employees unaware of how to report suspicious behavior
