Teach other maritime-facility personnel to recognize and report security threats

Treat this document as a focused evidence review: Teach other maritime-facility personnel to recognize and report security threats. Only the official source and traced locations below supply facts. Confirm applicability before acting.

Source fact:

The official 33 CFR 105.215 — Maritime Security: Facilities from U.S. Coast Guard via eCFR supports the following bounded statements:

• Under 33 CFR 105, the rule requires that all other facility personnel, including contractors, whether part-time, full-time, temporary, or permanent, have knowledge of, through training or equivalent job experience, in the following, as appropriate: techniques used to circumvent security measures. The research record locates this support at 33 CFR 105.215(e), read with the unnumbered introductory paragraph of 33 CFR 105.215 (eCFR anchor p-105.215(e)).
• Under 33 CFR 105, the rule requires that all other facility personnel, including contractors, whether part-time, full-time, temporary, or permanent, have knowledge of, through training or equivalent job experience, in the following, as appropriate: relevant provisions of the Facility Security Plan (FSP). The research record locates this support at 33 CFR 105.215(a), read with the unnumbered introductory paragraph of 33 CFR 105.215 (eCFR anchor p-105.215(a)).

Only the traced statements above are asserted as source facts. Apply the review to access control, video, intrusion detection, communications, supporting facilities, operators, and documented response paths after confirming that the source and deployed context match.

What the source does not establish

Applies only to facilities within 33 CFR part 105 and the cited section. Confirm Coast Guard jurisdiction, the approved Facility Security Plan, the current MARSEC level, and any approved alternatives; this is not legal advice or a universal facility-design standard. No current deployment state or change approval follows from the source alone. Validate identity, Windows DNS where used, time, networks, power, life-safety systems, vendors, and monitoring personnel, and treat examples or options as conditional inputs rather than defaults.

Applicability questions

• For source statement 1 at 33 CFR 105.215(e), read with the unnumbered introductory paragraph of 33 CFR 105.215 (eCFR anchor p-105.215(e)), which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?
• For source statement 2 at 33 CFR 105.215(a), read with the unnumbered introductory paragraph of 33 CFR 105.215 (eCFR anchor p-105.215(a)), which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?
• Which owner can attest to the recorded state of access control, video, intrusion detection, communications, supporting facilities, operators, and documented response paths, including exceptions?
• What baseline for identity, Windows DNS where used, time, networks, power, life-safety systems, vendors, and monitoring personnel must accompany the source-specific observation?
• Which success, stop, and escalation criteria are written before testing begins?

DSE recommendation:

DSE recommends using the cited source as the evidence anchor for this decision. Begin by recording scope and current state before deciding whether a change is warranted. Record the source location, examined part of access control, video, intrusion detection, communications, supporting facilities, operators, and documented response paths, observed and expected states, owner, and reason for deviation.

Translate the conclusion into change control only after documenting dependencies, impact, test method, expected signals, failure signals, and restoration steps. Include identity, Windows DNS where used, time, networks, power, life-safety systems, vendors, and monitoring personnel, while excluding secrets and sensitive personal or topology data from ordinary tickets.

Verification and evidence

Tie each conclusion back to 33 CFR 105.215(e), read with the unnumbered introductory paragraph of 33 CFR 105.215 (eCFR anchor p-105.215(e)); 33 CFR 105.215(a), read with the unnumbered introductory paragraph of 33 CFR 105.215 (eCFR anchor p-105.215(a)) and to observable material such as asset and firmware inventories, configuration exports, event tests, inspections, alarm response records, and maintenance findings. Preserve provenance and stable identifiers without copying secrets into the evidence set.

Retain the starting state, authorization, execution record, outcome, deviation, and final state as one review package. Move disruptive checks to an approved test path. Reopen the decision when versions, design, dependencies, ownership, or official guidance changes.
