Cyber Awareness Training

Your people are the perimeter. Train them to defend it.

A fully managed cyber awareness training program with role-based modules, simulated phishing, real-time risk scoring, and audit-ready compliance evidence for PIPEDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF. Built to shift culture, not check a box.

A continuous program, not a one-time course.

The overwhelming majority of breaches start with a phishing email. Employees remain the primary attack vector for organized criminal groups, nation-state actors, and opportunistic threat actors targeting organizations of every size. Annual compliance training does not change that reality, because retention fades within weeks and the threat landscape does not pause between sessions.

Armour Cybersecurity delivers a fully managed Cyber Awareness Training program that transforms the workforce into a proactive line of defense. Role-based curricula are designed for executives, finance, HR, IT, and general staff. Simulated phishing runs on a rolling monthly schedule. Risk scoring tracks behavioural change at the user and organizational level. Repeat-clickers receive automated micro-training. Quarterly executive reports translate the activity into board-ready evidence of program effectiveness.

Every component is mapped to applicable regulatory frameworks from day one. Audit evidence is generated automatically. The program is operated by certified specialists with IDF Intelligence Corps and Big 4 consulting backgrounds, so the experience is delivered with the discipline boards and auditors expect.

Annual compliance checkbox vs. continuous defense.

The difference between organizations whose employees report phishing and organizations whose employees click it is rarely intelligence or intent. It is whether the security program treats human risk as a continuous engineering problem or as a once-a-year compliance task.

The Problem

One annual course, fading retention, no measurable outcome.

The organization runs a single annual security course to satisfy compliance. Click rates on real phishing remain unchanged. Repeat-clickers are never identified. There is no role-based content, no simulated phishing, no risk score, and no way for the board to evaluate whether human risk is improving or worsening. Auditors ask for evidence and the response is a completion spreadsheet that nobody trusts.

The Solution

A managed program that shifts behavior and generates evidence on a continuous basis.

Role-based modules are delivered on a rolling schedule. Simulated phishing runs monthly with teachable-moment redirects. Repeat-clickers receive automated micro-training and escalated reinforcement. Risk scoring tracks behavioural change at the user, team, and organizational level. Compliance evidence is generated automatically. Quarterly reports document risk reduction in language the board can act on.

What the program includes.

Nine integrated components, delivered as a managed service so the internal team can focus on outcomes instead of operating the platform.

01 / CURRICULUM

Role-Based Training Modules

Content tailored to executives, finance, HR, IT, and general staff. Right message, right audience, right scenario, mapped to the specific risks each role actually faces.

02 / PHISHING

Simulated Phishing Campaigns

Monthly simulated attacks with templates customized to the industry, threat landscape, and seasonal scenarios. Realistic enough to teach, safe enough to deploy at scale.

03 / SPEAR-PHISHING

Spear-Phishing & Vishing

Targeted exercises against high-risk roles including executives, finance, and IT administrators, with vishing scenarios to test the human response to voice-based social engineering.

04 / TEACHABLE MOMENTS

Teachable Moment Redirects

Real-time landing pages and micro-training automatically delivered to employees who click simulated threats, converting the failure into an immediate learning opportunity.

05 / TOPICS

Core Security Hygiene Modules

Interactive e-learning covering phishing, password hygiene, social engineering, removable media, remote working security, BEC, ransomware, and incident reporting.

06 / ANALYTICS

Risk Score Dashboard

Live behavioural analytics showing organizational and per-user risk scores, trend lines over time, and identification of repeat-clickers and high-risk cohorts requiring intervention.

07 / HRIS

HRIS Integration & Lifecycle Management

Automated enrolment of new hires, role-change reassignment, and leavers management through the organization's HR or HRIS system, on a two business day SLA.

08 / COMMUNICATIONS

Newsletters & Awareness Webinars

Monthly awareness newsletters, security tip communications, and up to two annual live or virtual security awareness webinars to reinforce key behaviours.

09 / COMPLIANCE

Audit-Ready Compliance Evidence

Automatically generated evidence packages mapped to PIPEDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF, structured for auditor review and ready before year-end audits begin.

Who this program serves.

Built for organizations that need to demonstrate measurable progress on human risk, satisfy auditors, and protect themselves from the breach vectors that target employees first.

Mid-Market & Growth-Stage Companies

Organizations between twenty-five and several thousand employees that need a managed program with predictable cost, measurable outcomes, and audit evidence without building an internal awareness team.

Regulated Industries

Finance, healthcare, legal, and government organizations subject to PIPEDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or sector-specific obligations that require documented, continuous security awareness programs.

Organizations Under Audit Pressure

Companies preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other certifications where evidence of an active, measurable awareness program is a hard requirement rather than a nice-to-have.

CISOs Defending Human Risk Budgets

Security leaders who need to demonstrate measurable risk reduction in their awareness program, isolate repeat-offender cohorts, and report quarterly outcomes to executives and the board.

A disciplined methodology across six phases.

The program follows a structured engagement model that establishes the baseline, customizes content, launches at scale, measures behavioural change, and feeds the next quarter of improvements.

1

Discovery & Baseline Assessment

Surveys, dark-web exposure checks, and stakeholder interviews establish the current security culture and identify the highest-risk cohorts. A baseline phishing simulation captures the starting click rate.

2

Program Design & Customization

Curricula and phishing templates are customized to the industry, threat landscape, compliance obligations, and brand. Content is ready for deployment within five business days of kickoff.

3

Launch & Training Delivery

Modules are deployed via the existing LMS or the managed cloud platform. Simulated attacks run on a rolling schedule so employees stay sharp year-round rather than peaking once a year.

4

Measure & Reinforce

Click-through rates, completion stats, and risk scores are tracked monthly. Repeat-clickers receive targeted micro-training automatically. High-risk cohorts receive escalated interventions.

5

Reporting & Executive Visibility

Quarterly executive reports translate operational metrics into board-ready risk reduction outcomes. Monthly programme reports document SLA performance and detailed campaign results.

6

Annual Review & Continuous Improvement

An annual program review aligns the curriculum, simulation strategy, and risk scoring with the evolving threat landscape and organizational changes. The next year's program is refined accordingly.

Frequently asked questions.

Common questions from CISOs, HR leaders, and compliance owners evaluating a managed awareness program.

How is managed awareness training different from a one-time security course?
A one-time course tests retention for a few weeks. Managed awareness training is continuous. Role-based modules are delivered on a rolling schedule, simulated phishing runs monthly, repeat-clickers receive automated micro-training, and risk scoring tracks behavioural change quarter over quarter. The program is designed to shift culture and produce audit evidence on a continuous basis, not to check a box once a year.
Which compliance frameworks does the training program support?
The program is mapped to PIPEDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework from day one. Evidence packages are generated automatically and structured to support auditor review, including completion records, phishing simulation results, and risk score trend reporting. Additional framework mapping (HIPAA, PCI DSS, sector-specific obligations) is available on request.
How are phishing simulations run and what happens when an employee clicks?
Simulated phishing campaigns run on a rolling schedule against the organization's email environment. Templates are customized to the industry, threat landscape, and seasonal scenarios. When an employee clicks a simulated phish, a teachable-moment landing page is displayed and a short micro-training is automatically assigned. Repeat-clickers receive escalated reinforcement. Manager and executive reporting tracks who clicked, who reported, and how risk is trending.
How quickly can the program launch?
Curriculum and phishing templates are customized to the organization within five business days of the kickoff. Baseline phishing simulation can run during onboarding. New employee enrolment is automated within two business days of HRIS notification, and the first monthly report is delivered by the fifth of the following month.
What is the minimum engagement and how is pricing structured?
The minimum engagement is twenty-five active user seats. Pricing scales by seat count, with volume discounts for organizations above two hundred seats. Final pricing is confirmed in a commercial proposal following the discovery call. The standard agreement is a twelve-month term with automatic renewal unless either party provides notice.
How does the training integrate with the existing HR or learning management system?
Modules can be deployed through the organization's existing LMS or through the managed cloud platform. HRIS integration enables automated enrolment for new hires, role-change reassignment, and leaver management within two business days of notification. Branding and industry-specific scenarios can be applied so the experience feels native to the organization rather than third-party.
What measurable outcomes should leadership expect?
Programs typically show meaningful reductions in phishing click-through rates within six months, along with higher report-to-click ratios as employees gain confidence identifying suspicious messages. Quarterly executive reports document risk score trends, completion rates, and the residual high-risk cohorts that warrant targeted intervention. The metrics are designed to feed board reporting and to satisfy auditor evidence requirements.
