Secure Habits

Services

Training, not tools. Habits, not hardware.

Security awareness training that people actually use

Most incidents don’t start with a zero-day exploit — they start with a decision. A quick click. A reused password. A hurried approval. Security awareness training only matters if it changes those decisions in the moment. That’s what we build: clear, memorable habits that hold up under pressure.

We work with small businesses, nonprofits, schools, and mission-driven teams that need strong outcomes without the enterprise price tag or overhead. If you’re preparing for a compliance review, renewing cyber insurance, or just want fewer “Oops…” moments, we make it simple to roll out and sustain.

What you’ll get (and why it works)

  • People-first design: Short, plain-language lessons with stories and examples that stick — no jargon walls or “click-through” fatigue.
  • Role-based focus: Different risks for staff, finance, leadership, and IT; we tailor guidance so everyone knows what “good” looks like in their job.
  • Compliance aligned: Mapped to common frameworks and audits; simple artifacts for insurance and vendor questionnaires.
  • Reinforcement: Quarterly refreshers and quick nudges to build durable habits, not one-and-done “awareness.”
  • Respect for your values: Optional values-based delivery for faith-aligned organizations — respectful and relevant.

Secure Habits — Core Tier

A practical, plain-language program that builds everyday secure behavior across your team — fast to launch, easy to keep current.

  • Six-module, self-paced curriculum with quick checks and scenarios.
  • Editable policy template in plain English with clear disclaimers.
  • Quarterly awareness refreshers and role-based content.
  • Certificates and baseline assessment to show progress.

Custom Solutions — tailored security awareness & human risk services

For teams that want to start small or address a specific challenge, our custom security awareness training and human risk services for small businesses and nonprofits deliver immediate value and integrate cleanly with the Secure Habits program.

  • Virtual Human Risk Snapshot
    A focused leadership session paired with a short staff pulse to surface top behavior risks and first steps. Clear, plain-English takeaways you can act on this quarter.
  • Policy & Practice Alignment Check
    A concise review of current awareness practices and policies against common requirements, with a simple gap summary and recommended fixes.
  • Live Awareness Session
    An interactive, role-aware training covering today’s most common attack patterns, what “good” looks like in daily tools, and an open Q&A for your team.

These one-time engagements are a great starting point and make it easy to transition into the ongoing Core Tier when you’re ready. Most clients begin here, then expand into an annual program for consistent reinforcement and measurable risk reduction.

Why not “training that comes with our IT tools”?

  • Generic vs. specific: Vendor videos are one-size-fits-all. We tailor risks and examples to your roles and sector.
  • Clicks vs. change: Many platforms encourage fast completion; we build understanding and memory so behavior actually shifts.
  • Reports vs. decisions: “Completed / not completed” isn’t the same as readiness. We give leaders plain-English trends and next steps.
  • Tools vs. people: Your stack is strong; humans still decide. We make those decisions safer.

Outcomes you can expect

Within the first 60 days, most teams see fewer risky clicks, clearer hand-offs around sensitive data, and faster reporting of suspicious emails or requests. Staff learn when to pause, verify, and escalate; managers get shared language for what “good” looks like; and IT stops playing whack-a-mole with the same mistakes. Because lessons are short and practical, participation stays high and the habits begin to show up in daily tools like email, chat, and file sharing. The point isn’t to memorize acronyms — it’s to make better decisions when it actually matters.

Leaders benefit too. You’ll receive board-ready summaries that highlight trends, strengths, and priority fixes in plain English. That means you can answer audit and insurance questions with confidence, document due diligence without extra busywork, and demonstrate that security awareness training is improving real-world behavior. The result is less anxiety, fewer surprises, and a culture that treats security as part of the job, not an annual chore. When people know what to do and why it matters, your tools work better and incidents drop.
