CISM study material · question 397 of 1000

An employee disputes a sanction on the ground that they were never told the rule existed. Which role of awareness does NIST identify that this case illustrates?

  1. Awareness substitutes for disciplinary procedures, since an informed workforce needs no sanction to follow the rules
  2. Awareness provides the foundation for sanctions and disciplinary actions imposed for non-compliance
  3. Awareness is unrelated to disciplinary matters
  4. Awareness applies only to contractors, not to employees, whose obligations are carried by their contract of employment
Show the answer

Answer: B. Awareness provides the foundation for sanctions and disciplinary actions imposed for non-compliance

SP 800-100 has awareness carry the policies and procedures people must follow, and treats that as what any sanction or disciplinary action for non-compliance ultimately rests on.
