Better yet – our subscription model is available on a monthly basis. If you need compliance done fast you can buy one month’s subscription and finish everything up in that time. You don’t even need to contact a sales person because our solution can be bought online. If you do need to talk to someone you can always send an email to sales@awarego.com. Our dedicated sales team will be happy to help.

Security Training Made Easy

To make cyber security compliance training even easier we have a ready-made compliance training program. This program was built to help employees understand the risks associated with handling sensitive information. This includes risks such as phishing scams, ransomware attacks, spyware, and data breaches.

It also factors in general data protection protocols like password and data handling and how to keep sensitive data safe. By educating employees on these risks, organizations can help to prevent these types of attacks. It allows them to better protect their clients’ data as well as their own data and that of their employees.

Overview of training lessons in the compliance security awareness training

Our cyber security compliance training program has over 40 micro learning subjects and takes around an hour to complete. If you need to finish your compliance training fast, you can choose to send them out all at once. If you have time, such as when doing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits, you can space out the training over a few weeks.

The training will be sent out through automated emails (or through Slack or Teams messages). You can also schedule regular automated reminders to those who have not completed the training. You do not need to be a cybersecurity expert to use our solution or to send out training. Our experts have already curated this program to make your work easier.

Cyber Security Compliance Training Helps Your Business

In addition to understanding the risks to sensitive data, cyber security compliance training also helps employees to learn best practices for protecting systems and accounts, even their physical environment, from hackers. It helps them to become better aware and more secure in their day to day lives. This can include things like using strong, unique passwords, regularly updating software, and avoiding suspicious emails and websites. By following these best practices, employees can help to prevent cyber-attacks and keep your organization safe. Not just during the audit process or compliance training, but all year round.

Cybersecurity training in general can be beneficial in helping individuals and organizations improve their knowledge and understanding of online security threats. It also teaches the correct behavior and the measures they can take to protect themselves from these threats. This benefits employees both in their workplace and in their personal lives.

The benefits of cybersecurity compliance training include:

  • Improved awareness of security risks and how to identify and prevent them
  • Enhanced protection against security breaches and other cyber threats
  • Increased confidence in the security of an individual’s or organization’s digital assets
  • Reduced risk of financial loss or damage to reputation due to security breaches
  • Compliance with industry-specific security regulations and standards.

Overall, cybersecurity training can help individuals and organizations better protect themselves against the growing threat of cyber-attacks and improve their overall security posture.

Compliance With Data Protection Laws and Regulations

In terms of compliance with data protection laws, cyber security compliance training can also help companies ensure that they are meeting the necessary legal requirements. This can include things like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States.

All these regulations stipulate that employees need annual cyber security training for the organization to be compliant. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits also require organization to finish training. By providing employees with training on privacy laws and their requirements, companies can ensure that they are in compliance with them and avoid potential legal penalties.
