Security Training; It's That Important

NISPOM requires that every cleared employee receives the initial training and the annual refresher training

The rational for initial and refresher is because new employees are introduced to sensitive and classified government information and they should learn the fundamentals.

Here are some great topics; just so happens to be addressed in NISPOM: The nature of classified material and how to protect it.
Notice of their responsibilities to protect classified information and the consequences of unauthorized disclosure
Recognizing and protecting U.S. and foreign government classified material Criteria for authorizing access to classified information
Responding to classified information released to the public
Security chain of command and support structure for addressing security incidents and violations
Cleared employees on foreign travel

For example, the newly cleared employee may not understand how to dial a combination or determine who to allow access to classified material. Without proper training, the newly cleared employees may make honest mistakes leading to security violations.
