Security Awareness Training

Security Awareness Training With Monthly Simulations

Technology catches most threats. Humans remain the gap. Security awareness training from SADOS teaches employees to recognize phishing, social engineering, and suspicious behavior through short modules and simulated phishing campaigns.

How It Works

How Security Awareness Training Works

Monthly training modules take under 10 minutes each. Simulated phishing campaigns test real-world readiness using the same tactics attackers deploy against your industry. Employees who click receive immediate non-punitive coaching explaining what they missed. Repeat offenders get targeted additional training. Click rates decline consistently over successive months.

Process

The Training Deployment Process

We launch with a baseline phishing simulation to measure your organization’s current susceptibility before training begins. Results establish the starting benchmark. Training modules deploy monthly with difficulty adjusted based on performance data. Managed cybersecurity services provide the technical protection layers alongside employee training.
Industries

Who Needs Security Awareness Training

Every organization with employees who use email or browse the internet. Healthcare organizations with HIPAA workforce security awareness training requirements. Financial firms with SEC awareness mandates. Government contractors meeting NIST training controls. Schools with CIPA compliance. The human layer is the one no firewall can cover on its own.

What Security Awareness Training Includes

Phishing Simulations

Monthly phishing simulations test employee awareness with realistic attack scenarios that mimic the tactics currently targeting your industry. Difficulty escalates progressively based on aggregate results so training stays challenging as your team improves.

Training Modules

Interactive training modules assigned based on role and risk profile. Employees with access to financial systems receive specialized BEC training. All staff complete baseline security awareness covering password hygiene, phishing recognition, and social engineering defense.

Compliance Modules

Reporting dashboards show click rates, training completion, and improvement trends over time. Results feed into quarterly security posture reviews so leadership sees the human element alongside technical controls when evaluating organizational risk.

Reporting Dashboard

Completion rates, simulation results, and risk scores tracked by department on a real-time dashboard. Leadership gets visibility into which teams are improving and which need additional attention or targeted training.

Program Management

SADOS manages the entire training program including scheduling simulations, assigning modules, tracking completion, and adjusting difficulty based on results. Your HR team gets compliance reports without managing the platform.

Ongoing Program Management

SADOS manages the entire training program from start to finish. We schedule simulations, assign modules, track completion across your organization, and adjust difficulty based on results. Your team gets compliance-ready without the overhead.

Common Questions

FAQ

Monthly cadence is the standard program structure for security awareness training. New modules and phishing simulations deploy each month, with each module requiring under 10 minutes to complete. Training works alongside email security filtering so technology catches what humans miss and trained employees catch what technology misses. This layered approach addresses both technical and human elements.
Failed simulations trigger immediate non-punitive training that explains what the employee missed and how to identify similar phishing attempts in the future. Repeated failures trigger targeted additional education modules focused on the specific attack patterns that employee is most susceptible to. Our security awareness training program is designed to build recognition skills progressively through practice, not to punish employees for mistakes during learning.
Yes. Industry-specific modules are available for HIPAA-regulated healthcare organizations, financial services firms, and government contractors. Simulated phishing campaigns mimic industry-relevant scenarios employees encounter in daily work. Healthcare security awareness training modules align with HIPAA compliance requirements for documented workforce education on information security practices, privacy procedures, and data handling obligations.
Effectiveness of our security awareness training program is measured through phishing simulation click rates, module completion rates, time to report suspicious emails to IT, and repeat offender trend data tracked by individual and department. These metrics are reviewed monthly and discussed quarterly with leadership. Declining click rates and faster reporting times over successive months indicate genuine improvement in your team’s threat recognition ability.
Yes. Documented completion records and simulation performance data satisfy security awareness training mandates under HIPAA, NIST 800-171, CIS Controls, and other common compliance frameworks. Training documentation maps to specific controls within the NIST Cybersecurity Framework awareness function, giving compliance auditors clear evidence that your workforce receives ongoing, documented security education.
Yes. Dashboards display risk scores by individual employee and department so management has clear visibility into security awareness training effectiveness across the organization. Repeat simulation failures are highlighted for targeted intervention with additional modules. All training completion data, simulation results, and risk score trends are available for management review and exportable for HR records or compliance documentation purposes.
