Security awareness that respects people’s time and intelligence.
Boring, checkbox training doesn’t change behavior. People click through videos, skip quizzes, and go right back to the habits that attackers rely on.
XaaS Techs builds security awareness programs that are short, relevant, and grounded in the way your team actually works. We focus on the real risks your staff faces: phishing emails, credential theft, unsafe file sharing, and risky behavior on devices.
- Short, focused content instead of marathon training days
- Examples tailored to your tools and workflows
- Positive, non-shaming approach to mistakes
What’s included in a security awareness program.
We combine baseline training, refreshers, and targeted topics into a program that fits your size, schedule, and risk profile.
Role-specific training
Extra depth for people who handle more risk: finance, HR, IT, and leadership.
- Wire fraud and payment scams for finance
- Privacy and data handling for HR
- Executive-targeted phishing for leadership
Ongoing refreshers
Short touchpoints throughout the year keep security top-of-mind without overwhelming your calendar.
- Quarterly micro-trainings or lunch-and-learns
- “Tip of the month” content for staff channels
- Updates based on real-world incidents and trends
Phishing simulations with coaching, not shaming.
Simulated phishing helps people build instincts — as long as it’s done in a way that builds trust, not fear. We focus on learning, not “gotchas.”
Realistic but safe simulations
We design phishing tests that look and feel like what attackers are actually sending today.
- Templates tailored to your tools (Microsoft 365, banking, etc.)
- Varying difficulty over time
- Targeted campaigns for higher-risk groups
Immediate teachable moments
When someone clicks, they get constructive feedback, not embarrassment.
- Landing pages that explain what was risky
- Quick guidance on what to look for next time
- Links to short, reinforcing content
Reporting & trends
Leadership gets insights without turning training into a blame game.
- Click and report rates over time
- Department-level patterns and improvements
- Recommendations for where to focus next
Build a security-aware culture, not just annual checkboxes.
The goal isn’t perfect behavior — it’s a culture where people speak up early, ask questions, and feel safe admitting mistakes. That’s how incidents get found quickly and handled calmly.
- Simple “this looks suspicious” reporting paths
- Positive reinforcement for good catches
- Non-punitive approach to honest mistakes
Security awareness training – FAQs.
How often should we train our staff?
A common pattern is a baseline training for new hires, an annual refresher for everyone, and a few short touchpoints throughout the year. We’ll help you set a cadence that fits your risk profile and schedule.
Do you only offer online training?
We can deliver training in several formats: on-demand modules, live virtual sessions, and in-person sessions where practical. Many clients use a blend of approaches depending on role and location.
Can you provide proof of training for audits or compliance?
Yes. We can provide records of completion, sample materials, and summary reports that show how often training occurs and what topics are covered — useful for auditors, insurers, and client due diligence.
What if our staff isn’t very “technical”?
That’s okay. Training is designed around everyday scenarios: emails, links, attachments, and sign-ins. The goal is to give people simple, repeatable habits they can use, not to turn them into security experts.
