Why is cybersecurity awareness training important?

95% of cyber incidents are caused by human error. Cybersecurity awareness training transforms employees from the biggest risk into the strongest defence, reducing cyber risks by up to 70%.

What makes Optimise Cyber different from other training providers?

We are NCSC accredited and offer a hybrid training approach combining online learning, face-to-face sessions, and phishing simulations. Our learners achieve up to 90% memory retention compared to the industry average of 20-30%.

Does the training support Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 compliance?

Yes, our Cyber Academy includes exportable audit reports specifically designed to support both Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 compliance requirements.

How long does the training take?

The Cyber Academy is self-paced with modules that can be completed in short sessions. Face-to-face training is customised based on your organisation's needs and can range from half-day to multi-day programmes.
