Frequently Asked Questions

What is security awareness training?

Security awareness training educates employees about cybersecurity threats and teaches them how to recognize, avoid, and report security incidents. It covers topics like phishing, social engineering, password security, and safe browsing, turning employees into an active line of defense.

How much does security awareness training reduce risk?

Studies consistently show 60-80% reduction in phishing click rates after training. Organizations with mature security awareness programs report significantly fewer security incidents. The ROI is substantial, the average data breach costs €4.45M, while training programs cost a fraction of that.

How often should employees receive training?

Best practice is quarterly micro-training sessions (15-20 minutes) supplemented by monthly phishing simulations and annual comprehensive refresher courses. NIS2 requires 'regular' training, and ISO 27001 expects ongoing awareness activities.

How do you measure training effectiveness?

We track phishing simulation click rates, reporting rates, time-to-report, knowledge assessment scores, and incident trends. Monthly dashboards show improvement over time and identify teams or individuals needing additional support.

Can training content be customized for our industry?

Yes. We tailor scenarios, examples, and threat landscapes to your specific industry. Healthcare organizations see different threats than financial services firms. Customized training is significantly more engaging and effective than generic content.

Do you include phishing simulations?

Yes. Our program includes simulated phishing campaigns that test employee awareness with realistic but safe phishing emails. Employees who click receive immediate training. Simulation results feed into our analytics dashboard for continuous improvement.
