What business owners say after training their teams with us.
“We’d always assumed our team would recognise a phishing email, until one of our staff nearly responded to a fake supplier request. The training really opened our eyes.”
Staff trained to recognise phishing and payment scams

One click is all it takes.
Most cyber attacks on small businesses start with a person, not a system. A single phishing click or fake invoice can lead to ransomware, stolen client data or money lost for good.
Phishing gets past filters
Even with good email security, some convincing emails still land. Trained staff are the last line of defence.
Scams target your finance team
Fake supplier invoices and "urgent" payment requests from a director cost UK businesses millions every year.
Insurers and clients are asking
Insurers, clients and frameworks such as Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 increasingly expect proof that staff are trained.

Security awareness training: frequently asked questions
Last reviewed October 2026 by the Be Tech Secure security team
Cyber security awareness training teaches staff to recognise and avoid threats such as phishing emails, payment scams and social engineering. It combines short lessons with realistic phishing tests, so your team learns to spot attacks before they cause damage.
It depends on the number of staff and the format you choose. Ongoing bite-size training with monthly phishing tests is priced per user, while live sessions and seminars are priced per session. Start with a free phishing test and we will recommend the right option and price for your team.
We recommend a full session when staff join and once a year, plus short monthly modules and phishing tests. Regular practice keeps scams front of mind, because attackers change their tactics constantly.
Cyber Essentials does not formally require training, but it helps you meet its controls, and ISO 27001 does expect it. Many cyber insurers now ask whether you train staff and run phishing tests, and it can affect your premium.
We send realistic, safe test emails to your team each month. If someone clicks, they see a short lesson straight away, and you get a report showing who is improving and where more training is needed.
Phishing, payment and invoice fraud, passwords and MFA, phone and text scams, safe remote working, GDPR and data handling, social engineering and how to report incidents, all tailored to your business.
Live online sessions last about an hour, seminars half a day, and bite-size modules take just a few minutes each, so training fits around work.
Yes. Online sessions and bite-size modules work wherever your staff are, and phishing tests reach every inbox, in the office or at home.
Yes. We use examples and scenarios from your sector, such as client money for law firms or patient data for healthcare, so it feels relevant.
Through phishing test click rates, reporting rates, completion tracking and a regular summary report you can share with your board or insurer.
