IT security training that reduces human error
Access a comprehensive IT security course catalog featuring short videos and a variety of learning formats tailored for employees, the IT department, and management. Help your organization improve security awareness and foster better security habits in everyday work.
Used by companies that want a more structured and documentable approach to awareness training and phishing simulations.
Not everyone needs the same kind of training
Your colleagues do not face the same risks or have the same responsibilities. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to offer them all the same training.
Office staff typically need help recognizing phishing attempts and avoiding human errors in their day-to-day work, while IT professionals often require more technical knowledge about modern threats, security practices, and compliance. Management, on the other hand, needs insight into risks, responsibilities, and business implications.
That is why we have divided our IT security training into four learning areas, so that each target group receives relevant and targeted training focused on their specific roles and responsibilities.
On this page, you can explore the different course areas and see:
All employees
Basic IT Security
Employees who need advanced training
Advanced IT Security
Management and decision-makers
NIS2 for Management
IT and security teams

Why is our training so effective?
Because it combines training, practice, and learning
Awareness training in more than 75 languages
Companies with international employees can offer cultural awareness training in more than 75 different languages.
This helps ensure a more consistent understanding of cybersecurity across the organization.
The content is continuously updated and translated so that employees can receive training in their preferred language.
Here are some of the areas and threats our awareness training focuses on:
Phishing emails QR phishing Smishing and fake text messages Social engineering Password security Multi-factor authentication (MFA) Secure use of AI tools Browser security Data breaches Shadow IT USB devices Working from home and public Wi-Fi Sharing files and links CEO fraud Secure use of Microsoft 365 Tailgating and physical security Ransomware Suspicious links and attachments Secure use of cloud services
Need clarification?Frequently asked questions about IT security awareness training
Is awareness training mandatory?
Yes, increasingly so. NIS2, GDPR, the AI Act, and numerous cyber insurance policies mandate that organizations document employee training completion. Consequently, it serves as both a compliance requirement and a prerequisite for strengthening relationships with clients and partners.
How does SecureFirst's awareness training function?
You gain access to concise, engaging videos and quizzes that are easy to comprehend and retain. The training is structured around principles of micro-learning and repetition, thereby fostering genuine learning without disrupting productivity.
How much time does it require from employees?
Only a few minutes at a time. Each course module lasts 2–3 minutes and can be completed directly during the workday. This ensures the training is efficient without diverting time from other tasks.
What if an existing training program is in place?
Many companies use generic or outdated courses. Our solution can supplement or replace these, as it is updated, practical, and directly linked to the risks employees encounter daily.
Which languages does the training support?
The awareness training supports over 75 different languages, enabling all employees to complete courses in their native language. This ensures both enhanced comprehension and greater impact within organizations with international teams.
How can we document the effectiveness of the training?
The platform provides overviews and reports on completion rates, quiz results, and improvements over time. This data can be shared with management, the board, and external stakeholders as evidence that awareness is an integral component of your security initiatives.
Can we integrate our own content into the training?
Yes. In addition to SecureFirst's courses, you can upload company-specific content such as videos, PDFs, or guidelines. This allows you to consolidate both mandatory awareness training and internal policies in one location, providing employees with a single platform for all resources.
What if employees fail to participate or forget the training?
The platform dispatches automated reminders, and you can monitor who has yet to complete the training. This streamlines follow-up procedures, minimizing administrative overhead.
What are the costs?
You pay a fixed monthly price, dependent on the number of employees. There are no hidden fees, and you can combine awareness training with phishing simulations and other modules to maximize value. Try our price calculator to view pricing.

- 0% rage clicks indicate that the learning experience is perceived as helpful rather than exploitative 0%
- Many companies start with a click-through rate of around 30% on phishing simulations 30%
- The number of customers drops to 3–5% after 6–9 months 5%
- Realistic simulations can achieve a click-through rate of 45% or higher when the email aligns with employees' daily lives 45%
Advanced IT Security
The AI Act is the EU’s new legislation on artificial intelligence, designed to ensure the responsible, transparent, and safe use of AI through requirements for risk assessment, compliance, and AI skills in companies and organizations.
CIS 18
CIS 18 is a recognized cybersecurity framework comprising 18 controls that help businesses and organizations protect their systems, data, and networks from cyber threats.
IT Security
IT security is about protecting the systems, data, and digital infrastructure of businesses and organizations against cyber threats, attacks, and unauthorized access.
NIS2
NIS2 is the EU’s cybersecurity directive, which imposes stricter requirements on companies and organizations regarding security, risk management, and the handling of cyber threats.
Many cyberattacks start with human error
Most companies already have technical security solutions in place. However, many attacks are still successful because employees are tricked into clicking on phishing links, sharing information, or following unsafe work practices.
That is why modern awareness training is not just about compliance.
The goal is to reduce the risk of human error in everyday life.
SecureFirst helps companies foster a stronger security culture through short videos, ongoing training, and realistic phishing simulations that employees actually engage with.
