Security Awareness Programme
Staff awareness alone is not enough to reduce information security risks. Research has shown that inappropriate security behaviours persist, despite staff having attended security awareness training.
- Do your employees view your security awareness training as a compliance tick-box exercise?
- Do they feel disengaged?
- Do they persist with bad security habits?
The benefits of a successful security awareness programme
- Employee mindset and behaviour change because teams are personally invested in the security programme.
- Informed teams and improved organisational resilience, thereby reducing security risks and staff-related data breaches.
- A shift in organisational culture to better support business objectives.
- Reduced human error and process inefficiencies.
- Increased morale and commitment towards the information security management system (ISMS).
- Improved audit results as management system requirements are being met.
- Corrective actions based on the identification of nonconformities.
- A return on investment on your security awareness programme with visible campaign tracking.
