Employees play a significant role in cybersecurity breaches, often being the biggest vulnerability in an organisation’s security framework. With the ‘human element’ playing the biggest role in  cyber security breaches, your business can be compromised by just one well-crafted and well-researched phishing email landing in an employee’s inbox. Using an employee cyber security risk management platform will help ensure employees become an extra line of defence against cyber attacks, rather than a weak link.

Humans are targets

84% of UK businesses have experienced phishing attacks.

Humans make mistakes

Human error is a key factor in over 68% of data breaches.

Compliance is essential

Key standards like ISO 27001 require regular security awareness training.

Your one-stop solution for creating a security-savvy workforce

WHAT IS HUMAN RISK MANAGEMENT?

Understand and strengthen your business’s security posture against human error and user-targeted attacks through ongoing Human Risk Management (HRM). This modern approach to user-focused security empowers businesses to understand, reduce and monitor employee cyber risk. This approach identifies gaps in employees cyber security knowledge and easily minimises these over time.

Policy management

Drive security awareness
Train staff on modern security best practices through engaging security awareness courses.

Reduce human error
Educate staff on how to avoid common mishaps like sending sensitive data to the wrong person.

Safeguard exposed users
Reduce the chances of an attack by detecting when user credentials are stolen and exposed on the dark web.

Combat phishing attacks
Empower users with the ability to spot, avoid and report even the most sophisticated phishing attacks.

Implement security standards
Keep staff well-versed on company security procedures with core policy templates and trackable approvals.

Demonstrate compliance
Showcase your compliance efforts with real-time reporting on how your business is addressing human risk.

Successful transformation of employee security behaviour

Discover how a large construction company reduced the likelihood of employees opening, clicking or becoming compromised by phishing simulations as well as demonstrating compliance with ISO 27001 Clause 7.2.2.

EMPLOYEE SECURITY AWARENESS TRAINING

Our specialist cyber security awareness training is designed to fast track staff awareness of the latest cyber security threats, and maintain this knowledge through continual reinforcement.

The training comprises bite-sized video and interactive training courses that cover core infosec topics such as cloud security, mobile device security, internet and email usage as well as compliance topics including GDPR and PCI.

The process starts with users completing a gap analysis questionnaire that tests their current level understanding. They then receive tailored courses that last around 10 minutes each, based on their responses in specified intervals e.g. monthly, quarterly.  Detailed reporting of staff members progress over time provides ongoing evaluation.

REDUCE VULNERABILITY WITH PHISHING SIMULATIONS

Phishing attacks are the number one way in which attackers use to try and infiltrate company systems through employees. Each year these attacks are getting more frequent and sophisticated as attackers look to build profiles on users and companies in order to ensure the phish is as convincing as possible.

Such attacks can be replicated in a safe environment using a simulated phishing tool. This way it is possible to identify employees who need more help before a real attack occurs. The system reports on who opens a simulated phishing email, clicks on the link and provides their password when prompted.

The tool contains a library of realistic templates which can be customised to include specific information that the type of phishing emails employees may receive. You can review each campaign to see which users received it and who interacted with the email.

This is a safe and easy way to identify the overall company risk and which users require attention around phishing training.

DATA BREACH MONITORING WITH DARK WEB SCANNING

With data breaches occurring so frequently, organisations don’t really know what information is readily available about them. If employees are using work email to sign up for services, do you know if those services were secure in their environment, or has there been a breach involving your data?

The data breach tool identifies which emails have been used to sign up to third party services and whether user data has been exposed as a result. These lists are often made publicly available, and if your employees’ emails are on these lists, we can tell you which services they were found on, when they were breached, and what information is available.

If we can access this information then attackers can use it to try and log into company environments if passwords have been reused. This means you can ensure the information stays out of date by changing passwords and educating employees to only sign up for approved services and using good password hygiene.

CREATE AND MAINTAIN POLICIES WITH EASE

Whether for compliance reasons or general best practice, it has become increasingly important for organisations to be able to demonstrate which policies, or versions of policies, employees have signed up to in the event of an audit.

Creating policies, keeping employees up to date with revisions, tracking and logging employee approvals is a time-consuming process. This centralised, out-of-the-box policy management tool simplifies this process, automatically tracking employee sign offs and tracking those who have not completed them. All in one place.

The policy library contains 30 pre-made templates and features the ability to import PDF documents for existing policies. Documents are sent via email and logs when they are sent, viewed and approved by employees.
