Cyber Security Training for Managers
Cyber security training for managers ensures those who hold significant responsibility in an organisation understand the risks when working with suppliers, how to mitigate these risks and what to do if an incident occurs.
Cybercrime is growing by 15% a year and 50% of UK businesses were attacked in 2023. In the same year, data breaches cost businesses approximately £3.49 million.
Under GDPR, organisations can face substantial fines for data breaches resulting from cybercrime, so it is important that managers and stakeholders have a comprehensive understanding of cyber security.

Cyber Security FAQs
What is the role of a CEO in cyber security?
The CEO must ensure that their organisation protects personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This includes ensuring appropriate technical and organisational measures are implemented to protect against cybercrime.
Maintaining thorough documentation of cybersecurity policies, risk assessments, training activities, and incident responses is a legal requirement. This documentation can serve as evidence of compliance and due diligence in the event of an investigation or audit.
How do cyber-attacks affect organisations?
Cybercrime can have severe financial, reputational, and legal consequences for organisations.
Reputational damage can erode customer trust and loyalty, impacting long-term business relationships and brand value.
Organisations may incur significant fines and penalties for non-compliance with data protection laws, face litigation from affected parties, and be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny and mandatory audits, further straining resources and operations.
How do you promote cyber security in the workplace?
Organisations can promote cyber security awareness among employees by providing training on the latest threats, best practices, and organisational policies.
Integrating cybersecurity topics into onboarding processes and conducting simulated phishing attacks can help employees recognise and respond to potential threats.
Encouraging a culture of open communication where employees feel comfortable reporting suspicious activities without fear of repercussions is also crucial.
