Cybersecurity Training

Every employee needs cybersecurity compliance training, regardless of their role. General staff should receive basic cybersecurity awareness training to help them identify common cyberattack tactics (e.g., phishing), understand the firm’s cybersecurity policies and procedures, and learn about the potential impacts of cybersecurity incidents. Specialized roles such as IT professionals, compliance officers, risk managers, and senior executives typically require more detailed, role-specific training. This enables informed decision-making and effective response to cyber and information security incidents.

Financial services firms are prime targets for cyberattacks due to the highly sensitive and valuable data they handle for institutions and individuals. Effective training helps prevent breaches, reduces the risk of regulatory penalties, and helps protect the firm from costly operational disruptions resulting from cyberattacks. Employees are often the root cause of breaches; nearly 60% of breaches are caused by social engineering, credential misuse, or simple human error.

Our cybersecurity compliance training program covers a wide range of essential topics including:

• Cybersecurity best practices and compliance with industry regulations
• Data protection and privacy regulations (e.g., GLBA, GDPR)
• Phishing identification response
• Common attack tactics and risks
• Steps to protect company hardware and resources
• Incident response protocols and procedures
• Secure handling of customer data
• Insider threat awareness

Training should be conducted every year. However, more frequent sessions may be necessary for specialized roles, or when there are significant changes in the threat landscape or regulatory updates.

We offer a range of training options, from off-the-shelf online training for general audiences to highly customized, in-person training sessions for C-suite and executive teams.  We can also design bespoke trainings aligned with your team’s specific goals, just let us know what you’re looking to deliver.

We provide training in multiple formats including online training modules, virtual workshops, in-person seminars, and blended learning options to fit your firm’s preferences.

We actively monitor changes in cybersecurity regulations and industry best practices across many countries and jurisdictions. All training content is regularly updated to reflect changes in the cybersecurity landscape by our team of tenured cybersecurity, compliance, and regulatory experts.

Our training solutions include a robust Learning Management System (LMS) that allows firms to monitor employee participation, track progress and completion, assess knowledge retention, and generate detailed reports. This ensures ongoing compliance and provides the documentation needed for regulatory audits and internal reviews.
