IT Safety - 121 Training for individualsIn-Person IT Security Training for your Employees
Why IT Security Training Matters
Did you know that the majority of successful cyber‑attacks are caused by human error?
Your employees are your first line of defence. With the right training, they can recognise threats such as phishing, follow best practices around passwords and data handling, report incidents promptly, and help meet compliance requirements. This not only protects your data and systems, but also saves costs and strengthens your overall security culture.
Regular IT security training turns staff from potential vulnerabilities into a proactive layer of protection, helping safeguard your business, reputation, and future.

One‑to‑one sessions are ideal for new starters who may have missed a group session, or for employees who would benefit from personalised, focused guidance delivered in a confidential setting.

Pre‑Training Discussion
Ahead of the training session, we take time to understand your business, IT environment, and existing procedures. This allows us to use terminology and examples your employees already recognise, making the training more practical and engaging.
Incident Reporting
The reporting section can be fully aligned with your internal processes. We will incorporate the names of relevant managers and IT contacts, explain how incidents should be reported, and cover preferred communication methods. Legal and statutory reporting requirements, including Action Fraud, remain an integral part of the training.
Policies
Company policies are discussed throughout the session to help employees understand their purpose, content, and importance. Where required, we can distribute relevant IT policies at the end of the training for employee signature and address questions where possible.
To ensure accuracy and consistency, we ask that all policies are provided in advance so they can be reviewed prior to the session. Any concerns raised will be shared ahead of the training date.
Common policies covered may include:
- IT Security Policy
- Email and Internet Policy
- Use of Personal Devices for Work Policy
