Specialist Services · Security Awareness

Your people are the control that thinks. Train them like it.

Security awareness programmes that change behaviour rather than tick boxes: role-based training, phishing simulations with a teaching loop, and the evidence trail ISO 27001, NIS2 and your insurers expect.

What we deliver

A programme, not an annual video.

Awareness fails when it is generic and yearly. We build a rolling programme tuned to your roles, your threats and your incidents.

Role-based training

Developers, finance, executives and new joiners each get the risks they actually face, not the same slideshow.

Phishing simulations

Realistic, current lures with an immediate teaching moment on every click, measured by improvement and never used to shame.

Incident drills

Short scenario exercises for the people who would take the first call, because the first hour decides the incident.

AI usage awareness

Practical guidance on using AI tools safely at work: what to share, what never to paste, and how to spot AI-enabled fraud.

Measurement & evidence

Completion, click-rates, reporting-rates and trends: the metrics that satisfy auditors and actually mean something.

Compliance mapping

Every activity mapped to ISO 27001 A.6.3, NIS2 training duties and DORA awareness obligations, with evidence filed as you go.

Why Cybercontrols

Built by the consultants who see what actually goes wrong.

How it works

From annual chore to living programme.

Baseline

A discreet phishing baseline and role-risk mapping: where your human attack surface really is.

Launch

Core training rolled out by role, with leadership visibly first through the door.

Reinforce

Monthly micro-content, simulations and drills timed to real-world campaigns and your own incidents.

Report

Quarterly evidence packs for auditors, insurers and the board: improvement shown, gaps named.

Questions

Security awareness, answered plainly.

Is annual training enough for ISO 27001?

It can pass an audit; it rarely changes behaviour. The standard asks for awareness appropriate to role and risk, and a light monthly rhythm evidences that far more convincingly than one November marathon.

Will phishing simulations upset our staff?

Not run properly. We never publish individual results, every click lands on a 60-second lesson rather than a reprimand, and reporting a phish is celebrated louder than avoiding one.

Can you use our own incidents as material?

Anonymised and with your approval, yes, and it is the most effective content there is. Nothing lands like "this nearly happened here".

Do you also offer certification training for practitioners?

Yes: accredited TRECCERT courses for implementers and auditors run separately. See our training courses page.
