How Security Awareness Training works
A personalised, continuous learning journey that adapts to each employee’s cyber awareness level
Assess
Within 24 hours of onboarding, every new user will receive a gap analysis questionnaire to determine their current level of cyber security awareness and risk areas.
This helps us to understand how much each staff member already understands, and in which areas they need training.
Personalise
Based on the questionnaire results, users are automatically enrolled into a tailored programme that prioritises the gaps in their knowledge.
New interactive modules are automatically sent out every two weeks, or at a frequency of your choice.
Strengthen
Users complete interactive, bitesize modules to build lasting awareness and reduce risk from human error.
Results and analysis are accessible from your HackRisk dashboard, showing how different members of your team are performing, and who might may need additional help.
