Security & Privacy Engineering Training

Have you heard the popular saying that “humans are the weakest link to security”? Probably wondering how your team can be better honed in their knowledge of privacy principles and in practical sense embed such knowledge with real life processes that are specific to your organization.

There is broad agreement within the industry that human error is the cause of most data breaches. The IT Policy Compliance Group says 75% of ALL data loss is due to human error. The Aberdeen Group says 64%, CompTIA said 52% of the root cause of security breaches are caused by human error and most recently, Databarracks said the top cause of data loss was employee accident (24%).  In fact, it is estimated up to 75%* of company breaches are attributed to human failures in upholding the security policies, standards, and procedures of their employer*.  The best firewalls in the world cannot protect your assets if your “human firewall” is weak.

We translate privacy requirements into actionable tasks and train your existing staff on changes to existing processes.

This training covers the basic principles of privacy by design as it applies to the software engineering, application development, development operations roles and processes. This training is specially curated for your engineering or development team to harness the necessary knowledge to develop applications that are in compliant with common privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA etc.

Our specialized compliance training is targeted towards regulatory standards such as the PCI DSS, HIPAA etc. We develop contents specifically designed to meet these requirements tailored to your environment, help onboard your internal teams and any external stakeholders with continuous updates as changes occurs.

To meet the growing demands of the marketplace, we have created simple, engaging, and easy to use training programs. For organizations that require compliance with specific government regulations, such as PCI, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, or other security frameworks like ISO 27001, formal security awareness training for every employee either once or twice a year is required.

Why Training Programs Often Fail:

  • It’s boring!
  • It’s boring!
  • It’s irrelevant!
  • It’s difficult to navigate!
  • It’s hard to track employee progress!
  • It’s too time-consuming!

This is why our goal is to make our training programs simple, affordable and effective.

Approach

Our Approach

We use a combination of a blend of pop culture references, screencasts, cut-ins to design training contents that is customized to your organization (people, processes and technology). Our training contents are combined with specialized and engaging pop in quizzes and exams including resources for further offline training. Delivering both online and live trainings as needed by your organization, our entire suite of training offering is customizable to roles (engineering, IT, management etc.) and or industry (healthcare, manufacturing, finance, fintech etc.).

Through stories, we are able to reach people where they are. Making the information relatable, employees build trust in the program and their own ability to follow through on their training. Belief is critical for the success of the security awareness program. Our passion for protecting our clients is truly authentic. We aren’t actors reading lines, we are industry professionals.

We can provide contents only, and help you deploy them on your hosted learning management system (LMS) or provide both development and hosted capabilities. Our content delivery methodology is tailored to your existing capabilities and we provide continuous updates as needed. We work with the majority of the top LMS solutions such as paycom, saba, docebo etc.

Is third party training dissuading users from taking the material seriously? Have no fear! We can customize several aspects of the training, including the portal and URL that would be used to access the information. Quiz content can be adapted, as can splash screens, end-credits and on-screen “B-roll content” to fit in with your organization’s branding. We offer support for 23 languages. You have the ability to publish internal resources (intranet links, policies, contacts, etc.) to help contextualize the education. We make use of the Restful API, which allows for integrated phishing and vishing testing. We can also work in additional screen-casts or videos. Do you need custom video courses developed and recorded? Not a problem!
