The Challenge
Organisations face one of the greatest cybersecurity threats: human error. Phishing attacks, weak passwords, and lack of awareness leave staff vulnerable. Regulatory requirements under ISO 27001 and NIS2 mandate structured awareness initiatives, yet many organisations lack consistent training or simulation programmes.
The Approach
We developed a targeted awareness and training framework:
- Phishing Simulations: Periodic, realistic phishing emails tested staff readiness
- Interactive Training Modules: Customised lessons on threats such as phishing, ransomware, and secure remote access
- Role-Based Awareness: Differentiated guidance for office staff, remote workers, and on-site personnel
- Continuous Improvement: Campaign reports informed management of progress
The Solution
Training became a recurring cycle: simulation → training → re-assessment. Employees developed skills to recognise suspicious emails, improved password hygiene, and adopted secure collaboration practices.
Architecture
Simulation Layer
Regular phishing campaigns replicating real attack techniques
