Employee cyber security training that stands up to an audit
Anyone accountable for cyber-readiness in an organisation knows the "evidence problem".
Standard completion rates won't satisfy auditors, regulators, Cyber Essentials Plus assessors, FCA reviews, or clients demanding certified, proven technical capability from stretched security teams.
The UK Government Cyber Security Breaches Survey stated in its 2025/26 report that 43% of UK businesses reported experiencing a cyber breach or attack over a 12-month period. This is evidence that further training is required to educate staff on cybersecurity.
Our certification-backed enterprise cyber awareness training for employees bridges this gap by replacing passive metrics with audit-ready proof. It combines industry-recognised credentials with continuous competency benchmarking to give you verified evidence of your team's operational resilience.
Did you know? 93% of cyber incidents within UK businesses involve phishing
This highlights that employees, not software flaws, remain the primary entry point for attackers. Yet, only 19% of UK businesses currently run formal cyber security training or awareness schemes for non-cyber employees.

Certifications for the roles in your business
The learning pathways and certifications we'll recommend will depend on the roles and employees you're looking to upskill and the competencies you need to evidence to auditors, investors, or the board.
Here are some examples of the key certifications different roles would need:
- Entry-level / IT staff moving into security - CompTIA Security+
- SOC Analysts (threat detection) - CompTIA CySA+
- Offensive security, pentest capability - EC-Council CEH
- Offensive security (vendor-neutral) - CompTIA PenTest+
- Network defence - EC-Council CND
- Incident response & forensics - EC-Council CHFI

Each pathway pairs structured content with hands-on labs your employees can practice in. For example, this means an analyst preparing for CySA+ works in a simulated environment rather than a slide deck.
Exam booking is handled for you; we work with the exam bodies daily and know the processes inside out.

How the cyber training programs run
Every corporate cyber security training programme we run starts the same way: a skills-gap analysis benchmarking your employees against the certifications your clients, assessors, or contracts require. Pathways are mapped to that gap, delivery is managed, and capability is re-measured at the end. You get the before-and-after in numbers.
