Cyber security starts with your team, not your tech

Most cyber attacks do not start with clever hacking. They start with an email.

Someone gets a message that looks like it is from a supplier, or the boss, or the bank. They click a link, or they type in a password. That is often all it takes. Verizon's 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 60% of breaches involve a human element. Not a broken firewall. A person, making a normal mistake.

This is why phishing awareness training has become one of the simplest and most effective things a small business can do. A few of our clients have already put it in place. It does not take much time, and it makes a real difference.

What phishing awareness training actually does

The idea is simple. You teach your team what a phishing attempt looks like, then you test them safely to see how they respond.

Good training covers the things people actually fall for. Fake invoices. Urgent messages that create pressure to act fast. Login pages that look almost identical to the real thing. A few short videos are usually enough to cover the basics, and they do not take up much of anyone's day.

The testing side is just as useful. We send simulated phishing emails to your team, so you can see who spots them and who does not. Nobody is at risk. You just get a clear, honest picture of where the gaps are.

At the end, you get a report. That is handy to have on file if a client or insurer ever asks what you do to manage this kind of risk.

We are offering a free two week trial

We use a platform called usecure for this, and we are offering all our clients two weeks free access to try it.

We run the whole trial for you. That means the training videos, the simulated tests, and the summary report at the end. You do not need to set anything up or manage anything yourself.

No contract, cancel any time If you like what you see afterwards, it costs £1.50 per user per month, excluding VAT. There is no contract, so you can stop at any time.
