Options for Annual EIV Security Training

EIV system users and O/A staff who do not have access to the EIV system but who use EIV reports to perform their job function are required by Housing Notice 2010-10 to complete security training annually.  The Notice indicates the security training portion of HUD’s most recent EIV webcast, currently December 2009, will satisfy this requirement.  The Office of Multifamily Housing is introducing another available option for users to complete security awareness training.  Acceptable training now includes completion of the online Federal ISS Awareness training program.  The Federal ISS Awareness training program includes a Certificate of Completion for users to print.

 To complete the Federal ISS Awareness online Security Awareness Training:

 Open your web browser.

• Type http://iase.disa.mil/eta/index.html#onlinetraining.
• Press Enter.
• Click on Federal ISS Awareness icon on the IA Education, Training and Awareness Screen.
• Click on Launch New Information Systems Security Awareness on the Information Systems Security Awareness screen.
• Proceed with the training.
• When the training is complete, print and maintain the Certificate of Completion.

 Note:  The Security Awareness Training described above is the same training required for those individuals who transmit TRACS files.  If the training has been completed to satisfy TRACS security training requirements, this will satisfy EIV security training requirements as well so long as the completion date represented on the Certificate of Completion is not older than one year.
