CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-200Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor10,204Retaining and monitoring training records confirms personnel have completed privacy and security awareness training on handling sensitive data, reducing the chance of unauthorized exposure due to lack of knowledge.
