Abstract
This publication provides guidance for federal agencies and organizations to develop and manage a life cycle approach to building a Cybersecurity and Privacy Learning Program (CPLP). The approach is intended to address the needs of large and small organizations as well as those building an entirely new program. The information leverages broadly accepted standards, regulations, legislation, and best practices. The recommendations are customizable and may be implemented as part of an organization-wide process that manages awareness, training, and education programs for a diverse set of federal employee audiences. The program should encourage behavior change as part of risk management and lead to developing a privacy and security culture in the organization. The guidance also includes suggested metrics and evaluation methods to regularly improve and update the program as needs evolve.Citation
