The programme
An awareness programme designed for non-IT staff: no technical knowledge is required. Each module takes about one hour and is followed at your own pace: three short lessons, rooted in everyday administrative situations, each followed by a quiz that checks the right reflexes. Completing the module earns its official certificate.
All four modules are open for enrolment — take them in order: each one builds on the habits of the previous one.
Everyday risks
Recognising a suspicious email or message, thwarting social engineering and controlling what you share on social media.
Good digital practices
Securing your work smartphone, handling and sharing sensitive data carefully, and working remotely in safety.
Protective attitudes and measures
Guarding against ransomware with backups, knowing how to react and whom to alert when an incident occurs, then committing to your own security habits.
