AI-Powered Policy Creation & Compliance Management

AI Policy Creation

AI-Powered Policy Creation

Chat with our AI assistant powered by human-curated comments on CMMC Section 3.2 standards. Generate well-written, customized Awareness and Training policies that meet all CMMC requirements. The AI understands the nuances of compliance and creates policies tailored to your organization.

Agentic Training Coordinator

Agentic Training Coordinator

Automated training coordination that sends regular reminders for required training and training reviews. The system proactively manages training schedules, ensuring personnel stay current with CMMC Section 3.2 requirements without manual intervention.

Personnel Verification

Personnel Verification

Automatically checks if assigned personnel still work at your company. Ensures training assignments remain current and compliance records accurately reflect your active workforce, preventing gaps in CMMC Section 3.2 compliance.

Policy Maintenance

Policy Maintenance & Updates

Automatic policy updates to maintain CMMC Section 3.2 compliance as standards evolve. The system monitors regulatory changes and suggests policy revisions, keeping your Awareness and Training policies current and compliant.

CMMC Section 3.2 Compliance Framework

CMMC Section 3.2 (Awareness and Training) represents a layered compliance framework where each level builds upon the previous. Understanding this dependency chain is essential for creating policies that satisfy not just the surface requirements, but the underlying intent and assessment criteria.

The Compliance Hierarchy

CMMC functions as an auditable implementation of NIST SP 800-171, which itself adapts NIST SP 800-53 controls for non-federal organizations handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Section 3.2 specifically addresses awareness and training requirements, ensuring personnel understand security risks and receive role-appropriate training.

NIST SP 800-171

Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations. Section 3.2 establishes requirements for security awareness and training, directly mapping to CMMC Level 2 requirements AT.2.1 through AT.2.4.

Assessment Framework

NIST SP 800-171A provides the assessment procedures used by CMMC assessors. For Section 3.2, assessors examine policy documentation, training records, and evidence of implementation. The assessment verifies that organizations have not only created policies but have operationalized them through actual training delivery and record-keeping.

NIST SP 800-171A

Assessing Security Requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information. Provides detailed assessment procedures for each 800-171 requirement, including objective evidence criteria for Section 3.2 controls.

Foundation in NIST SP 800-53

NIST SP 800-171 Section 3.2 derives from the Awareness and Training (AT) control family in NIST SP 800-53. The mapping includes AT-1 (Policy and Procedures), AT-2 (Literacy Training and Awareness), AT-3 (Role-Based Training), and AT-4 (Training Records). Understanding these foundational controls ensures policies address both the adapted requirements in 800-171 and the underlying security principles from 800-53.

NIST SP 800-53

Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations. The AT control family (AT-1 through AT-4) provides the foundation for 800-171 Section 3.2, adapted for non-federal organizations.

Control Categorization

NIST SP 800-171 controls fall into three categories that affect how they're implemented and assessed:

  • Derived controls: Adapted from 800-53 for non-federal contexts, maintaining the security objective while adjusting implementation guidance.
  • NFO (Non-Federal Organization) controls: Implicit in 800-171r2, explicitly identified in Revision 3. These represent organizational responsibilities that don't map directly to 800-53 but are necessary for CUI protection.
  • Directly referenced controls: Explicitly cite other NIST standards, requiring organizations to consult those documents for complete implementation guidance.

Section 3.2 includes controls from all three categories, meaning effective policies must address derived requirements, organizational responsibilities, and referenced standards.

Supporting Standards and References

Several NIST publications provide essential context for Section 3.2 implementation:

NIST SP 800-181

Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework). Defines cybersecurity roles, tasks, and knowledge/skills/abilities (KSAs) that inform role-based training requirements. Essential for understanding what training is appropriate for different personnel categories.

NIST SP 800-50

Building an Information Technology Security Awareness and Training Program. Provides guidance on developing comprehensive security awareness and training programs, including program structure, content development, and delivery methods.

Additional standards referenced in 800-171 context include guidance on insider threat awareness, security control implementation, and risk management—all of which inform training content and delivery requirements.

Complete Dependency Mapping

AT-LMS maps the complete dependency chain: CMMC Level 2 AT.2.1-AT.2.4 → NIST SP 800-171 Section 3.2 → NIST SP 800-171A assessment procedures → NIST SP 800-53 AT control family → Derived/NFO/Directly Referenced control categorization → Supporting standards (800-181, 800-50, etc.). This comprehensive mapping ensures generated policies address every requirement at each level, from the highest CMMC assessment criteria down to foundational NIST controls and referenced implementation guidance.
