The Confidence Standard · Prevention Pillar
Your employees are the
first line of defense.
Role-based training, plus phishing simulation to prove it worked.
Professional Service, expert-led, project-based work. Deep expertise, delivered with structure.
Part of the Cybersecurity portfolio, Prevention pillar.
This service serves the CISO KPI: Risk Reduction.
PILLAR 01
INSIGHT
Phishing metrics reveal which departments carry the most human risk.
PILLAR 02
PREVENTION
Training and simulation directly reduce the most common attack vector.
PILLAR 03
RESILIENCE
A trained workforce reports faster, shortening incident timelines.
Training that fits your organization, plus the test that proves it worked.
Four ways to engage, training as the foundation, phishing simulation as the proof.
PROJECT-BASED TRAINING
One-Time Rollout
LMS, live virtual, or on-site. Typically 2-4 weeks for a policy-driven requirement.
Scope a rollout →
SUBSCRIPTION TRAINING
Ongoing Awareness
Quarterly or monthly content, continuous with annual refreshers as threats evolve.
Scope a subscription →
ONE-TIME PHISHING CAMPAIGN
First-Time Baseline
A 2-4 week phishing simulation with full reporting, your starting human-risk baseline.
Scope a campaign →
QUARTERLY PHISHING PROGRAM
Ongoing Testing
Scheduled simulation campaigns with progress tracking, integrated with your training cadence.
Scope a program →
Capabilities, not a feature list.
Custom, role-based content
Modules tailored by industry, role and risk profile, no generic videos or outdated examples.
Real-world phishing simulations
Scenarios mimicking current attacker tactics, social engineering, credential harvesting, BEC, tailored to your business context.
Trackable and reportable, both ways
Training completion and phishing click-through/reporting metrics together, satisfying auditors with one evidence set.
Delivered by working practitioners
Content written and delivered by real cybersecurity professionals who know what today's attacks look like.
Turn your users into your strongest line of defense.
4 stages: training builds the behavior, simulation proves it changed.
01
Consultation & Design
Understand your structure, industry, risk profile and security culture before building content or scenarios.
02
Deliver Training
Role-based modules covering phishing, safe browsing, password hygiene, remote work and insider threats.
03
Run Simulations
Controlled phishing campaigns reflecting current attack patterns, customized by role, department or region.
04
Report & Recommend
Completion rates and phishing metrics together, open rates, click throughs, reporting behavior, high-risk users identified.
When this is the right move, and when it's not.
Start here if...
- You need auditor-ready evidence of ongoing security awareness efforts, beyond a bare training log.
- You suspect certain departments or roles carry disproportionate human risk and want to identify them.
- Your current training is generic, check-the-box, and you know it is not changing behavior.
- You want a baseline phishing click-through rate to measure whether training investment is working.
Something else first if...
- You are testing whether your incident response plan holds up. That is a Tabletop Exercise, run under Incident Response.
- You need technical controls. Email and endpoint protection sit in the Solutions layer, not here.
- You have never assessed where your risk actually sits. Skyrocket Cyber Maturity will confirm whether the human layer is your priority gap.
This service rarely stands alone
TESTS
Incident Readiness
A trained workforce reports incidents faster, validated separately by Tabletop Exercises.
See Tabletop Exercise →
REVEALS RISK FOR
Identity Management
Repeat phishing failures often point to an identity/MFA gap as much as a training gap.
FEEDS INTO
Skyrocket Cyber Maturity
Human-risk metrics are part of the People & Skills evidence in a maturity assessment.
Straight answers before the call.
Why is Email Phishing Exercise part of this page now, instead of separate?
Because it was already listed as an add-on to user awareness training, and running the two as separate purchase decisions understated how tightly they work together: training changes behavior, phishing simulation is how you measure whether it actually did. Combined, one engagement produces both a trained workforce and the metric proving the training worked.
Will a phishing simulation get anyone in trouble?
It is designed as a coaching tool, not a disciplinary one. The standard model surfaces click-through and reporting behavior in aggregate and by role, so leadership can target training, individual employees typically receive supportive, in-the-moment coaching rather than punitive action, and we can align the program to your existing HR policy on this point.
How often should we run phishing simulations?
Quarterly is the common cadence for organizations serious about sustained behavior change, a single annual campaign establishes a baseline but does not build the habit. Most subscription-based training clients pair it with a quarterly phishing program by default.
