How often must SCI security refresher training be completed?

• A. At least annually, and whenever policies or compartments change; more frequent as required by agency.
• B. Every two years.
• C. Only at initial assignment.
• D. Whenever you feel like it.

Answer: (A)

Regular SCI security refresher training is required at least once a year, and you must complete it whenever there are changes to policies or compartments that affect your duties. Agencies may require it more often, depending on updates or upgrades to safeguarding procedures. This keeps you current on access rules, reporting procedures, handling and storage requirements, and any new threat awareness or protective measures. The other options underestimate or ignore mandatory triggers: training every two years or only at initial assignment would leave you out of date, and training whenever you feel like it isn’t a formal requirement.
