Cyber Security Awareness Training in Essex, London & the South East

Make employees your first line of defence. Our personalised cyber security awareness training programmes teach staff to recognise and respond to threats like phishing, social engineering and password theft.

Stay one step ahead of attackers with continuous training, testing and reinforcement.

Human error causes the vast majority of security breaches. But once-a-year programmes and static training libraries weren’t built to keep pace with today’s advanced, AI-powered threats.

To stand a chance, your team needs engaging, personalised coaching that teaches them how to identify and respond to the most common attacks, from phishing emails to fraudulent phone calls.

Through interactive assessments, realistic attack simulations and on-the-spot coaching, our online cyber security awareness training drives lasting behaviour change and a measurable reduction in risk.

Baseline phishing assessments

Learn how many of your staff would click a malicious link today. We run simulated phishing campaigns across your organisation, tracking who opens the email, who clicks and who hands over their details.

This isn’t a witch hunt. It’s a way to understand the size of the problem and show employees they’re more susceptible than they think. That realisation is often what makes the training stick.

If you want to look beyond staff awareness, a cyber security audit can identify gaps in your wider defences.

Ongoing, personalised training

Turn your workforce from a vulnerability into your strongest asset. Our continuous training program teaches staff how to recognise and respond to attacks while keeping security front of mind.

Staff stay engaged thanks to our diverse content library, which we can personalise to each user’s role, risk level, and behaviour. If they make a mistake, we deliver real-time coaching through tools they already use, like Outlook and Teams, to reinforce the correct behaviour.

Realistic attack simulations

Put your staff’s training to the test. We run regular simulated attacks modelled on the AI-driven tactics criminals are using right now, including personalised phishing emails and callback scams.

Pair phishing simulations with managed email screening to help block malicious emails and prepare staff to spot the ones that get through.

When someone falls for a simulation, they receive targeted, in-the-moment coaching that teaches staff how to avoid making the mistake again. There’s no public shaming, just an important lesson delivered at the moment it’s most likely to land.

In-depth tracking and reporting

Track completion rates and at-risk staff with our reporting dashboard. We give every user a risk score based on their simulation results, training progress and behaviour over time. These scores roll up into department and organisation-wide views, so you can see exactly where your risk sits and how it’s changing.

Our reporting provides clear evidence to regulators, insurers and clients that you take security awareness training seriously. If you’re working towards ISO 27001 certification, these reports can help you evidence staff training.

Cyber security awareness training FAQs

Find the answers to the most frequently asked questions about our online cyber security awareness training in Essex. If you can’t find the answer you were looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

What is cyber security awareness training?

Cyber security awareness training is an ongoing programme that teaches your staff to recognise and respond to threats like phishing and social engineering. Our programmes combine regular training with simulated attacks, so you can measure how behaviour changes.

Why is cyber security awareness training important?

Cyber security awareness training matters because most security breaches stem from human error. Educating your team about the risks, tactics and best practices makes them more likely to spot an attack and respond correctly.

Security awareness training is also important from a regulatory standpoint. Regulators and insurers increasingly want proof that you run training programmes. It also supports your obligations under frameworks like ISO 27001.

How often should staff be trained?

You should run cyber security awareness training continuously. Threats change constantly, and staff are prone to forget training without regular reinforcement.

Will staff know they're being tested?

Your staff will know testing programmes exist, but they won’t know when a simulation is coming. This ensures the results reflect how they'd respond to a real attack.

What happens if someone fails a phishing test?

If an employee fails a phishing test, they receive on-the-spot training that reinforces the correct behaviour.

Is security awareness training a regulatory requirement?

It depends on your sector, but frameworks like ISO 27001 expect organisations to train staff on information security, and regulators like the ICO consider staff awareness when assessing data breaches. Training also gives you a clear record to show insurers and clients. Staff training is also one of the areas covered by Cyber Assurance certification.
