Cyber Security Training For Employees

Empower your team with a practical Cyber Security Training For Employees training pack – no jargon, no technical background required. We use it ourselves for our own training!

Introduction

Cyber security and data protection have moved from niche technical concerns to critical business priorities. Organisations of all sizes face increasing risks, from phishing attacks and ransomware to regulatory fines, and staff awareness is no longer optional. It’s essential.

Yet many businesses struggle to create awareness training that is clear, engaging, and aligned with GDPR, ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials.

To address these challenges, consider implementing a structured approach to Cyber Security Training For Employees that fosters a culture of security awareness.

We’ve created a complimentary Cyber Security Training For Employees downloadable to help. It’s easy to deliver, simple to customise and designed for business with or without in-house security expertise.

The Challenge for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses

Most security incidents begin with small, avoidable mistakes:

• A link clicked in a phishing email
• A reused password
• Sensitive data sent to the wrong person

Despite investing in tools like firewalls and antivirus software, many organisations remain vulnerable due to one factor: human error. In fact, 82% of breaches in 2024 involved human factors like social engineering or misuse of access credentials (Verizon, 2024).

Creating effective internal training can be difficult:

• Lack of expertise – Teams feel underqualified to explain security topics clearly
• Time constraints – No one has weeks to build content from scratch
• Compliance pressure – Incomplete or inaccurate training can create false confidence
• Low engagement – Staff tune out when training feels generic or irrelevant

Without meaningful education, businesses remain at risk; not just of operational disruption, but also significant reputational and financial damage.

Why Use The Cyber Awareness Training Pack?

Because security awareness is too important to be inaccessible.

We created this pack based on three truths:

1. Many businesses don’t know where to start: this pack gives you the tools and confidence to raise awareness within your teams.
2. Good training shouldn’t be exclusive to big companies: threats don’t care about budget size. Awareness should be available to everyone.
3. Security culture starts with your people: HR leads, managers and IT teams can all play a role in shaping it.

This resource helps you move from “we should do training” to “we’ve got it covered.”
