Your people are another critical element of a comprehensive cyber security and privacy compliance program. According to a 2017 Verizon Data Breach Report, user error caused 90% of successful network breaches.
Training employees on security and privacy topics is crucial for compliance with industry regulations and standards. Noncompliance with laws like PCI, CCPA, FISMA, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and GDPR can result in extensive fines and data loss. Learn more in our Regs & Standards FAQ section of the site.
Employees who can recognize and respond to cyber threats enhance your organization’s information security preparedness. A security awareness training plan should identify and document who, what, where, when, and how stakeholders will be trained.
Train every new employee, contractor, and vendor who will access sensitive business data. Tailor the training content to each stakeholder’s job responsibilities.
Continually educate your stakeholders about security and privacy best practices. Regular training and updates are essential to maintaining compliance and protecting your organization from cyber threats. Ensure all employees, contractors, and vendors are well-versed in recognizing and responding to potential security risks.
SecureFLO offers multiple options for cybersecurity, privacy compliance, and phishing education for your team:
We offer a cloud-based video solution accessible anytime, anywhere with an internet connection. Employees can watch concise videos on various security topics and learn how to respond to hacker threats.
This solution allows you to manage and report on stakeholders’ progress, ensuring each employee reviews company policies and completes the required security awareness and privacy training. You can generate compliance reports and use them during audits.
Phishing is a type of social engineering that starts with an attacker sending a fraudulent message. This message tricks recipients into revealing sensitive information or enables hackers to deploy malicious software (like ransomware) on their infrastructure.
According to research from the US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), organizations worldwide could lose over $9 billion due to employees clicking links in phishing emails. Hackers continue to develop new phishing methods—learn more about different types of phishing attacks in our Phishing FAQ. By leveraging our expertise, our clients have reduced their risk of phishing attacks by over 80%.
Our phishing simulation service equips your organization with the tools and education to reduce phishing attacks. We develop simulated phishing attempts relevant to your business and employees. These attempts target specific teams or departments.
When someone is successfully “phished” by the simulation, our solution provides a brief explanation of their mistake and what to look for in the future. Immediate feedback helps employees better recognize actual phishing attempts.
After the simulation, we analyze click rate data for successful (simulated) phishing attacks. We share this information with your team to help understand why employees clicked on certain deceptive emails.
With our game-based phishing training, users can play a game that scores them on phishing and various aspects of cybersecurity awareness. This training provides an easy and entertaining way to train and engage your employees, temps, contractors, and vendors.

Our expert instructors deliver engaging, interactive sessions that address your specific industry needs and organizational challenges.
