Meet your compliance training requirements

Compliance training is employee education required by legislation or regulations. Compliance training may also refer to education mandated or recommended via industry standards, frameworks or internal policies. Although some compliance mandates specify training topics or types, many include general requirements (e.g., provide annual security awareness training for all employees).

Yes. The Infosec IQ security awareness and simulated phishing platform includes everything you need to deliver — and document — security awareness training for all employees and prove compliance.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a voluntary set of standards, guidelines and best practices to help organizations manage cybersecurity-related risk. The Framework outlines five core functions used to help organizations organize basic cybersecurity activities: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover. The Protect function identifies security awareness training as a key component to an effective cybersecurity program.

To align with NIST recommendations, organizations should ensure “personnel and partners are provided cybersecurity awareness education and are trained to perform their cybersecurity-related duties and responsibilities consistent with related policies, procedures, and agreements.”

NIST provides guidance on security awareness and training topics in its special publications and encourages organizations to train employees on phishing, social engineering, password security, safe web browsing, physical security and more.

All Infosec IQ security awareness training content is mapped to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and special publication recommendations to make it easy for any organization to build an effective employee training program into their cybersecurity strategy.

Mandatory security awareness training doesn’t have to be boring. The most effective security awareness training blends training topics and best practices with relevant scenarios, engaging storytelling and relatable characters. This allows you to keep employees engaged and inspire behavior change while accounting for compliance requirements.
