Cyber Awareness Training Turn Staff Into Your First Line of Defence
Cyber Awareness Training gives your people the right knowledge that enables them to be the first line of defence against cyber attacks.
What's Included?
Training Needs Analysis
We begin by assessing your organisation’s specific risks and requirements, creating a bespoke training plan to target key vulnerabilities.
Interactive Learning
We provide you access to a blend of videos, quizzes and scenario-based tasks, ensuring staff remain engaged and can easily absorb the material.
Phishing Simulations
We run realistic mock exercises, helping participants recognise and respond to suspicious messages or calls in real-world conditions.
Incident Reporting Guidance
We show individuals how to report issues quickly, minimising the impact of breaches and fostering a culture of swift action.
Progress Tracking
We track completion rates, quiz scores and simulated phishing outcomes, giving you clear insights into the success of the training.
Compliance Met
Whether you are looking to meet ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials or any other framework, we help you become compliant quickly.
Your Challenges
Human Vulnerabilities
Humans are unpredictable and easily manipulated, especially if they haven’t had the right training. Your employees can be the weakest link in the chain and that’s why the vast majority of cyber attacks target individuals in some manner.
Sophisticated Attacks
The frequency and sophistication of human-based cyber attacks is increasing. Training that up skills staff on the latest attack vectors (e.g. AI-powered deepfake video scams) are essential for organisations to protect themselves.
Compliance Requirements
In heavily regulated sectors with strict regulations, it’s often explicitly required to have a continuous cyber awareness training program to abide by laws such as the DPA (UK), GDPR (EU) or HIPAA (US).
Measuring Cultural Change
It can be tough to gauge how well employees grasp and apply cyber security practices. Without the right metrics, it’s hard to tell if training is effective or if staff are truly ready to handle cyber threats.

Fewer Incidents
Training employees to recognise and respond to cyber threats can significantly lower the chances of expensive data breaches. A recent report from IBM highlights that organisations with cyber awareness programs saved an average of $1.49 million in breach costs compared to those lacking such programs.
Stronger Culture
Training builds a culture where cyber security is integral to everyday work. It helps employees follow security policies and contribute to a safer digital environment. When done correctly, the culture can slowly be shifted from cyber security being viewed as predominantly ‘policing’, more towards it ‘enabling’ business activities.
Staff Feel Supported
Being the victim of a scam, inadvertently losing company money or causing a data breach at work can be emotionally distressing for the individuals involved. Training and awareness activities not only protects employees' well-being but also safeguards the company's IT assets and data.
Risk Reduction
People are the most targeted element of an organisation's defences - by bolstering your controls around the human element of security you drastically reduce your overall risk profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Cyber Awareness Training?
Cyber awareness training educates employees about cyber security threats, social engineering tactics, and best practises. This training aims to reduce security risks by transforming employees to recognise and respond effectively to cyber threats. It covers essential topics such as: phishing prevention, password security, safe email usage, device security, and data privacy.
- Why is Cyber Awareness Training Important for Employees?
Cyber awareness and cyber security training is important as human errors are a leading factor in security breaches. Employees who are aware of threats and are trained to handle them are less likely to mishandle sensitive data or fall for phishing scams. This training also helps companies meet regulatory compliance, like HIPPA and GDPR, which often mandates employee education on cybersecurity.
- How Often Should Cyber Awareness Training be Conducted?
Training programs range from one-time sessions to ongoing training. Many organisations hold regular training sessions, supplemented by regular phishing simulations and refresher models. This reinforced learning ensures continuous improvement in employee cyber awareness habits.
- How Can the Effectiveness of Cyber Awareness Training be Measured?
Organisations use various metrics, such as the reduction of phishing clicks, completion rates of training modules, and assessments post-training. Many programs have targeted improvements, and focused follow-ups with employees.
