Continuous Security

Security Awareness Training

Personalised three-to-five-minute microlearning that adapts to each employee's role and behaviour — reinforced by smart nudges that keep security visible all year.

Everyone has sat through the annual security course: an hour of generic slides, a quiz, a certificate, and — within a fortnight — no measurable change in behaviour. Security awareness training only works when it is relevant to the person receiving it, short enough to hold attention, and reinforced often enough to stick. That is exactly how our service is built.

Blackfoot's adaptive security awareness training delivers personalised microlearning of three to five minutes per employee, shaped by their individual risk profile, role, and observed behaviours. Content adapts continuously — someone who repeatedly clicks simulated phishing emails gets different training from a finance manager handling payment requests — and is delivered through our human risk management platform, by email, or directly within Microsoft Teams.

Training people remember, nudges that arrive on time

The content library is role-based and engaging by design, using gamification, interactive scenarios, and storytelling rather than slide decks — covering current threat scenarios, policy reinforcement, and sector-specific risks. Between sessions, security nudges provide contextual reminders at exactly the moments that matter: sharing a document externally, or password hygiene prompts after a disclosure event. Awareness stays visible all year, not just during training weeks.

Engagement and progress feed each employee's risk score, giving you quantified evidence of improvement and compliance-aligned reporting for ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR, and Cyber Essentials. Blackfoot manages the programme throughout — content optimisation, results analysis, and quarterly reviews — as part of our managed human risk management subscription, so your team gets the outcomes without running yet another platform.

Paired with our phishing simulation service, training and testing reinforce each other: simulations reveal where the risk sits, and adaptive training closes the gap. Over a year, that loop is what moves the numbers — click rates falling, reporting rates rising, and a workforce that treats security as part of the job rather than an annual interruption to it.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what prospective clients ask us most.

How is adaptive training different from standard e-learning?

Standard e-learning gives everyone the same course on the same schedule. Adaptive training gives each person short modules chosen from their own risk profile, role, and observed behaviour — and keeps adjusting throughout the year. The result is training that feels relevant, takes minutes, and measurably changes behaviour.

How long does the training take?

Each module is three to five minutes. Because sessions are short and personalised, completion rates are far higher than for traditional hour-long annual courses — and the little-and-often rhythm is what makes the learning stick.

How is the training delivered to employees?

Through the human risk management platform, by email, or directly within Microsoft Teams, with access via a simple link or single sign-on. There is no technical setup for end users.

Does it satisfy our compliance training requirements?

Yes. Reporting is aligned to the awareness requirements of ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR, and Cyber Essentials, with engagement records and risk-score trends maintained continuously as audit evidence.

Can you create bespoke training content for us?

Bespoke content development is not included in the subscription — the strength of the service is its continuously updated, role-based library tailored to your sector. If you have a requirement for fully custom material, speak to us about options.
