Cybersecurity Training
All Prevention and Early Intervention Reporting System (PEIRS) users are required to complete IT cybersecurity training every year. To meet this requirement, Family Support Services offers a training created and hosted by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and approved by the Department of Information Resources.
When visiting the HHS Learning Portal, select HHS Information Security/Cybersecurity Training for Contractors FY2022.

First-time users must register for a new account on the HHS Learning Portal before enrolling in the course. (Note that this account is different from the HHS Enterprise Portal registration and the Department of Family and Protective Services Learning Portal.)
After completing the training, users should finish the knowledge test, print the completion certificate, and file with other contract compliance documents.
Organizations that are sub-awardees (subcontractors) must provide the required documentation to their lead agency, which is responsible for providing certification for any subaward staff accessing PEIRS.
Summary
- PEIRS users take the test and print and save their results.
- Grantee completes a single Form 3834 (PDF) for the agency and emails to Family Support Services Contracting and the contract manager.
