01 / Context

Most incidents start with one decision by one person.

Security awareness training teaches staff how to recognise, avoid and report cyber security risks. It should be clear, practical and relevant to the way people work. The goal isn't to turn every staff member into a security expert - it's to help them recognise common threats and respond appropriately.

04 / Audience-Specific

Audience-Specific

General Staff

Practical cyber safety - phishing, MFA, account protection, data handling, secure remote working and how to report something that looks wrong.

Finance & Accounts

Targeted BEC training - payment redirection, fake invoices, supplier impersonation, urgent-request patterns and verification workflows that actually catch fraud.

IT & Admins

Privileged-account safety, MFA fatigue, consent-grant abuse, suspicious sign-in patterns, account containment basics and how to escalate.

Customer-Facing Teams

Social engineering over phone, chat and email - identity verification, data handling, sharing controls and reporting suspicious caller behaviour.

05 / Phishing & BEC

The two attacks staff actually see.

Phishing and business email compromise remain the most common ways attackers target organisations. RTCS training helps staff identify suspicious messages, payment-redirection attempts, fake login pages, impersonation attempts and unusual requests - with clear guidance on what to do, what not to do, and how to report concerns quickly.

For authorised phishing simulations and broader social-engineering testing, pair with Red Team & Adversary Simulation.

06 / Executive & Board

Different audience. Different content.

Executives and boards need a different level of cyber awareness. RTCS provides concise briefings focused on business risk, incident decision-making, regulatory expectations, crisis communications and leadership responsibilities during cyber events.

Current cyber risks Common attack scenarios Executive decision points Incident escalation Cyber crisis preparation Board-level reporting Practical risk-reduction actions

For deeper crisis decision-making and tabletop exercises, pair with Crisis Management & Cyber Resilience.
