Q & A EIV

Question: I oversee items regarding EIV for my company. The Federal ISS Security Awareness Course needs to be completed for our employees that sign the Rules of Behavior. But a lot of our offices do not have computers. We’re having our company meeting soon and I was wondering if we were allowed to have a class showing the video, and then print our own certificates showing that the staff has been trained. ~ Shelly in Kentucky

Answer: You’re correct – all employees who view EIV data must complete the Federal ISS Security Awareness course, even if they don’t have online access to EIV. However, it is not acceptable to show it as a video and then print your own certificates. The certificates must be the ones printed directly from the website, since that documents that the correct answers were actually selected by the person completing the course. Employees can take this course at home if they have personal computers, or they can use computers at the public library. If your company meeting will be at your offices, they can take turns using whatever computers are available there.
