Speak to an expert

Get staff on board with your security awareness project with an effective staff awareness program. Reduce the risk of human error and encourage staff to adopt best practice measures. Book your demo or request a call with one of our security awareness experts for more information.

Security awareness training shouldn’t be a compliance tick box exercise. Research has shown that poor security behaviours persist despite staff having attended security awareness training. Cybersecurity and data protection should be ingrained into every aspect of your organization. Training alone is not enough to reduce information security risks, which is why it’s so important to implement a security awareness program.

This program is ideal for organizations looking to raise awareness of issues such as data privacy, information security and cybersecurity, and supports the implementation of management systems such as information security and ISO 27001, business continuity and ISO 22301, cybersecurity, phishing, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and data security.
