Security Awareness Programme

Staff awareness alone is not enough to reduce information security risks. Research has shown that inappropriate security behaviours persist, despite staff having attended security awareness training.

  • Do your employees view your security awareness training as a compliance tick-box exercise?
  • Do they feel disengaged?
  • Do they persist with bad security habits?

The benefits of a successful security awareness programme

  • Employee mindset and behaviour change because teams are personally invested in the security programme.
  • Informed teams and improved organisational resilience, thereby reducing security risks and staff-related data breaches.
  • A shift in organisational culture to better support business objectives.
  • Reduced human error and process inefficiencies.
  • Increased morale and commitment towards the information security management system (ISMS).
  • Improved audit results as management system requirements are being met.
  • Corrective actions based on the identification of nonconformities.
  • A return on investment on your security awareness programme with visible campaign tracking.
