Security Awareness & Training
 

Your People Are Your First Line of Defense

Build a security-aware culture through phishing simulations, targeted training programs, and executive briefings that turn your employees into an active layer of protection.

The Challenge

Technology alone can't stop every attack. The majority of successful breaches begin with a human mistake—a clicked link, a reused password, a missed red flag. Training changes that.

88%

of data breaches are caused by human error or social engineering

3.4X

more likely to click a phishing link with no prior security awareness training

70%

reduction in phishing susceptibility after consistent simulations and training

How We Help

Flexible, practical vendor risk management for organizations without dedicated third-party risk teams

Realistic, controlled phishing campaigns that measure your employees' susceptibility and identify who needs the most targeted follow-up training.

Typical timeline

Ongoing or one-time campaigns

What We Deliver

✓ Custom phishing templates tailored to your industry and employee roles

✓ Click rate, credential submission, and reporting rate metrics per campaign

✓ Immediate teachable moment for employees who click

✓ Department and role-level risk reporting for leadership

✓ Trend analysis across campaigns to measure improvement over time

Common Scenarios

Compliance-driven testing (SOC 2, HIPAA, cyber insurance), post-incident awareness, new employee onboarding baseline

Role-based security training that goes beyond annual checkbox compliance—covering real threats your employees face in their day-to-day work.

Typical timeline

3 - 5 business days

What We Deliver

✓ Role-based training modules (general staff, finance, IT, HR, management)

✓ Topics include phishing, password hygiene, social engineering, and safe data handling

✓ Completion tracking and compliance reporting for auditors

✓ New hire security onboarding program

✓ Refresher training triggered by simulation failures or policy updates

Common Scenarios

Annual compliance training (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2), post-incident retraining, onboarding programs, cyber insurance prerequisites

Move beyond one-time training to build lasting security habits and a workplace culture where employees actively participate in protecting the organization.

Typical timeline

Ongoing engagement program

What We Deliver

✓ Security awareness calendar with monthly themes and communications

✓ Security champion program to embed awareness across departments

✓ Metrics and reporting to track culture improvement over time

✓ Policy reinforcement through regular, digestible communications

✓ Incident reporting culture—encouraging employees to speak up without fear

Common Scenarios

Organizations with recurring phishing failures, rapid headcount growth, post-merger integration, or maturing security programs

Tailored briefings for leadership and board members that communicate cyber risk in business terms—enabling informed decisions without requiring a technical background.

Typical timeline

Quarterly or on-demand sessions

What We Deliver

✓ Current threat landscape briefing relevant to your industry and size

✓ Business risk framing of technical security issues (no jargon)

✓ Targeted social engineering awareness for high-value targets (CEO, CFO, HR)

✓ Board-ready security metrics and risk reporting

✓ Guidance on executive-specific threats: spear phishing, BEC, deepfakes

Common Scenarios

Board security updates, new executive onboarding, post-incident leadership debrief, cyber insurance renewal prep

Why Security Awareness Matters

HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and CMMC all require documented security awareness training. We build programs that satisfy auditors and produce evidence of ongoing participation.

No firewall stops a well-crafted phishing email that an employee willingly clicks. Training is the only control that directly addresses the human layer of your security stack.

Insurers increasingly require phishing simulation programs and annual training as a condition of coverage. We document everything you need to qualify and renew.

Unlike many security investments, awareness training produces measurable results—click rate trends, reporting rates, and completion metrics that demonstrate real risk reduction over time.
