Security Awareness Seminar (SAS)

For any employees who use I.T or deal with confidential information.

• Staff are THE major weaknesses in I.T. and information security.
• Staff unwittingly give away confidential information.
• Staff put data at risk by not taking appropriate precautions.
• A person can not be disciplined for unacceptable use of I.T if they have not been formally made aware of what is acceptable use.

This seminar addresses all of these issues; it delivers your I.T security policies for you.

It can also be used as part of an induction programme. 

Once staff have attended the seminar they are astonished at the facts they learn and case studies they hear, including how it could affect their children and personal data.  They leave more confident in their understanding of I.T Security. Ultimately, they are motivated to become more security aware at work and home. Thus, you are well on your way to creating a 'security culture' within your business.
