Phishing Simulation and Security Awareness Training

Our training programme covers phishing recognition, password hygiene, business email compromise, safe web browsing, removable media risks, social engineering tactics, and data handling best practices. Content is updated quarterly to reflect current threats targeting UK organisations. Since 85% of businesses that experienced a breach identified phishing as the attack vector (DSIT 2025), phishing awareness forms the core of our curriculum alongside complementary security topics.

Yes. Our training programme helps organisations meet awareness requirements under UK GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and sector-specific regulations. Training completion is tracked centrally with audit-ready reports showing who completed which modules and when. Cyber Essentials certified organisations are 92% less likely to claim on cyber insurance (IASME), and staff awareness training is a key component of meeting that certification standard.

We measure effectiveness through phishing simulation click rates before and after training, training module completion rates, quiz scores, and the rate at which staff report suspicious emails to IT. These metrics are tracked over time to demonstrate measurable improvement. Organisations that combine regular simulations with targeted training typically achieve significant reductions in click rates within the first three to six months of the programme.

New employees are automatically enrolled in a baseline security awareness module during their first week, covering the essentials of phishing recognition, password security, and your organisation's reporting procedures. They are then included in the regular monthly simulation campaigns and ongoing training schedule. This ensures new joiners do not represent a gap in your human defence layer during their initial onboarding period when they are most vulnerable to social engineering.

Each training module is designed as a micro-learning session of five to ten minutes, making it easy for staff to complete without significant disruption to their working day. Modules use interactive content, real-world examples, and short quizzes to reinforce key points. With 43% of UK businesses experiencing a breach in the past year (DSIT 2025), investing a few minutes per month in awareness training delivers substantial return in reduced human error risk.
