CP-3Contingency Training
Provide contingency training to system users consistent with assigned roles and responsibilities: Within {{ insert: param, cp-03_odp.01 }} of assuming a contingency role or responsibility; When required by system changes; and {{ insert: param, cp-03_odp.02 }} thereafter; and Review and update contingency training content {{ insert: param, cp-03_odp.03 }} and following {{ insert: param, cp-03_odp.04 }}.

Weaknesses this control addresses (3)AI
CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.
| CWE | Name | CVEs | Why this control addresses it |
|---|---|---|---|
CWE-754 | Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions | 697 | Training ensures users perform required checks for unusual or exceptional conditions as part of contingency roles, limiting attacker leverage from skipped validations. |
CWE-755 | Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions | 662 | By preparing users for contingency scenarios, the control promotes proper handling of exceptional conditions instead of default or unsafe behaviors. |
CWE-703 | Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions | 146 | Contingency training equips users with defined procedures to check and respond to exceptional conditions during disruptions, reducing exploitation of mishandled errors. |
