System Use Notification (03.01.09) System Use Notification
High-Level Description
Family: Access Control
Framework: NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3
Applicability: Systems processing, storing, or transmitting CUI
System Use Notification
What to Check
How to Test
Step 1: Review System Security Plan
Examine the SSP for System Use Notification (03.01.09) implementation description and responsible parties.
Step 2: Assess Implementation
# Verify security controls protecting CUI
# Check access controls, encryption, monitoring as applicable
# For Linux systems:
ls -la /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
grep -r "CUI\|controlled" /etc/security/ 2>/dev/null
# For cloud:
# Use cloud-audit-mcp tools to assess posture
Step 3: CMMC Assessment Validation
Verify this requirement passes CMMC Level 2 assessment methodology per SP 800-171A Rev 3.

Remediation Guide
Requirement Statement
Implement System Use Notification per NIST SP 800-171 Rev 3.
Supplemental Guidance
System use notifications can be implemented using messages or warning banners. The messages or warning banners are displayed before individuals log in to a system that processes, stores, or transmits CUI. System use notifications are used for access via logon interfaces with human users and are not required when human interfaces do not exist. Organizations consider whether a secondary use notification is needed to access applications or other system resources after the initial network logon. Posters or other printed materials may be used in lieu of an automated system message. This requirement is related to 03.15.03.
