Navigating Security Awareness: Why Expert Guidance Matters

Developing a comprehensive security awareness program takes more than just deploying a training course or two. At Awareness Solutions, our team of security awareness advisors understand the unique challenges organizations face in cultivating a strong culture of cyber vigilance.

That’s why we believe expert guidance is integral for any security awareness initiative’s success. From initial planning phases to long-term optimization, our advisors are with you every step of the way. Let’s explore the types of support you can expect.

Getting Started the Right Way

Laying the proper groundwork during startup consultation sets the stage for an effective program down the road. Our advisors will assess your business objectives, regulatory requirements, risk profile and available resources.

We also analyze workplace demographics, job roles and locations to recommend the right rollout approach. Should training be mandatory or optional? Are in-person sessions needed for remote workers? How often should refresher content be scheduled?

Together, we’ll produce customized program documentation like policies, communications plans and component blueprints. Templates simplify adherence to frameworks like NIST over the long haul.

Early Engagement Boosts Adoption

Once your plan receives stakeholder sign-off, onboarding support begins. Our team actively engages with department leaders who act as awareness ambassadors within their teams.

We conduct awareness workshops to familiarize ambassadors with their new responsibilities. Attendees leave equipped to champion the program internally using our guidance materials.

During initial rollout, advisors assist in addressing employee questions or roadblocks in real-time. Their presence helps build early adoption momentum crucial to changing behaviors.

Ongoing Campaign Deployment Support

As training campaigns deploy, our experts monitor metrics to flag any participation drop-offs needing remediation. We also audit automated communications forgaps requiring personalized outreach.

Additional in-language assets keep learning fresh and aid comprehension across diverse job roles and experience levels. Interactive reinforcement exercises boost retention of lessons over the long term.

Metrics Reporting Simplifies Oversight

Gauging a program’s impact becomes effortless with our monthly metrics reports. Charts, infographics and easily digestible analyses shine light on progress towards your goals.

Detailed appendices present a fuller picture for annual audits or steering committee updates. Executives receive just high-level overviews keeping their focus on strategic risks.

Real-time access to analytics further empowers inline decision making. Drill-down capabilities swiftly pinpoint opportunities to reinforce weak areas program-wide or within departments.

Iterative Optimization Yields Continuous Growth

Our advisors work closely with your team in quarterly reviews, identifying refinements strengthening impact over the upcoming cycle. Campaign content undergoes revision based on feedback while new risk scenarios receive coverage.

Policies and documentation receive routine updates addressing regulatory or internal policy changes. Emerging threats influence upcoming simulated phishing templates to mirror real-world tactics.

Emergency response drills complement ongoing learning. Scenario-based exercises test incident protocols for different situations, building workforce preparedness.

From initial startup through long-term journey support, our advisory team remains your trusted guide. Experienced consultants help take your program to the next level so security remains top of mind for all employees every single day.
