Trainings / Awareness / Phishing Simulation

Building a security-aware culture – role-based information security training and realistic phishing simulations that turn your employees into your strongest line of defense.

Why Security Awareness Matters

The majority of successful cyberattacks and breaches begin with human error – a clicked link, a weak password, a misdirected file, a convincing phishing email. Technical controls alone cannot close this gap; ISO/IEC 27001 and most regulatory frameworks (including the NBG Cybersecurity Framework) explicitly require ongoing security awareness training and evidence that it works. A well-designed training and phishing simulation program doesn’t just satisfy an audit checkbox, it measurably reduces your organization’s real-world risk of compromise.

What You Get

Role-Based Security Awareness Training

Training content tailored to different roles – general staff, IT/technical teams, management, and high-risk functions (finance, HR), rather than generic one-size-fits-all content.

ISO 27001 & NBG-Aligned Curriculum

Training designed to satisfy the awareness requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 (Clause 7.3, Annex A controls) and the NBG Cybersecurity Framework, with documented evidence for audits.

Phishing Simulation Campaigns

Realistic, customized phishing simulations – from basic to advanced social engineering scenarios, to measure and improve real employee behavior, not just test knowledge.

Georgian-Language Content

All training materials, phishing templates, and reporting delivered in Georgian, ensuring genuine comprehension and engagement across your organization.

Metrics & Reporting

Click rates, reporting rates, and training completion tracked over time, giving management measurable evidence of improving (or declining) security culture.

Ongoing Program Support

Regular refresher campaigns and updated simulation scenarios, so awareness doesn’t fade after a single training event.

Our Methodology

1. Baseline Assessment – Run an initial phishing simulation to establish a baseline click/report rate before training begins.
2. Curriculum Design – Develop role-based training content aligned to your industry, regulatory requirements, and identified risk areas.
3. Training Delivery – Deliver training sessions (in-person, virtual, or self-paced materials) in Georgian, tailored to each audience.
4. Phishing Simulation Campaigns – Run scheduled, realistic phishing simulations of increasing sophistication, mapped to real-world attack patterns.
5. Measurement & Reporting – Track click rates, report rates, and training completion; deliver management-friendly reports on program effectiveness.
6. Continuous Improvement – Adjust content and simulation difficulty based on results, with ongoing refresher cycles to sustain awareness over time.

Who This Is For

Organizations that need to:

• Satisfy ISO/IEC 27001 security awareness training requirements (Clause 7.3, Annex A.6.3) with documented evidence
• Meet NBG Cybersecurity Framework awareness and training obligations
• Reduce real-world phishing and social engineering risk, not just complete a compliance checklist
• Build a measurable, evolving security culture – not a one-time training event
• Provide evidence of security awareness maturity to auditors, regulators, or clients
• Address a specific incident or near-miss with targeted awareness remediation
