Strategic Resilience

Make your employees the first line of defence.

Interactive security awareness training that sticks. Not a compliance exercise but measurable behaviour change.

What is Security Awareness Training?

Security Awareness Training makes your employees aware of cyber threats and teaches them to make the right choices. Not with dull compliance presentations, but with interactive training that sticks. The training is tailored to the technology stack, experience level and challenges of your team. Delivered by experienced security professionals who know the threats from real incidents.

About this service

People are the first and last line of defence

Security Awareness Training makes your employees aware of cyber threats and teaches them to make the right choices. Not with boring compliance presentations, but with interactive training that sticks. The training is tailored to the daily practice of your employees.

Hands-on scenarios form the heart of the training. Not abstract examples but situations your employees recognise: the phishing email that looks like a real message, the USB stick in the car park, the phone call from "IT support". The training is given interactively with recognisable situations.

The goal is not just knowledge transfer but behaviour change. After the training your team thinks about security with every action. Security by design, not as an afterthought. For maximum effect, awareness training is combined with phishing simulations that directly test what was learned.

The Problem

You know human error is your biggest security risk

Human error is the most common cause of security incidents. Phishing, social engineering and poor password hygiene account for the majority of successful attacks.

  • Your employees receive phishing emails daily and without proper training even well-intentioned people click on malicious links, putting the entire organisation at risk.
  • NIS2 requires demonstrable security awareness measures. A one-off compliance presentation does not meet this requirement and does not drive lasting behaviour change.
  • Without role-specific training, finance staff receive the same content as IT professionals, missing targeted training on BEC fraud, executive impersonation and wire transfer requests.
Scope

What the training covers

  • Phishing recognition (email, SMS, phone)

  • Social engineering awareness

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How often should awareness training be provided?
At minimum annually, but preferably on an ongoing basis with periodic sessions and phishing simulations. A one-time training fades quickly; repetition is essential for lasting behaviour change.
Can the training be delivered online?
Yes. Both live sessions and e-learning modules are available. Live sessions are more interactive; e-learning is more flexible in scheduling.
How do you measure the effect?
By comparing phishing simulation click rates before and after training. In addition a knowledge test can be administered. The combination measures both knowledge and behaviour.
Is role-specific training available?
Yes. Finance staff receive deeper training on BEC fraud. IT teams receive technical scenarios. Management receives board responsibility and crisis decision-making training.
Can you set up an ongoing awareness programme?
Yes. An ongoing programme with monthly content, periodic phishing simulations and quarterly reporting keeps awareness structurally at the right level.
