Information and Cyber Security Awareness

All organisations are at risk of cyber attacks, and the impact can be costly – both financially and reputationally.

Almost half of UK businesses suffered a cyber security breach or attack during the past 12 months, rising to 68% of medium-sized firms and 75% of large enterprises, according to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Cyber attacks cost UK firms £34bn each year, such as through lost revenue, operational interruption and intellectual property loss.

It is important that organisations actively manage information security risks and ensure they comply with relevant legislation, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This legislation regulates how personal data is collected, stored and protected. Data breaches can result in significant fines.

The majority of cyber attacks or data breaches are due to users, employees, managers and executives not identifying the signs of attempted attacks or knowing what to do in the event of a cyber security incident.

Course summary

Cyber Security Training is a central pillar in keeping your organisation safe from hackers and cyber attacks. It is an essential online course that helps protect the organisation’s information and customer data, secure IT systems and prevent data breaches.

Developed by qualified and experienced IT security professionals referencing The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) best practice and guidance, our in-depth Information and Cyber Security Awareness Training helps employees understand their role in preventing cyber-attacks and learn how security breaches occur. It ensures employees can recognise how malicious attacks can occur and the importance of reporting data breaches.

Our Information and Cyber Security Awareness course has been designed by security experts referencing government guidance for employees at all levels to use – helping control security risks, increase employee awareness and encourage safe cyber security behaviours.

What our clients say

From national pub chains to global insurance, our clients value our expertise and service.

I have found the team at Praxis42 to be one of the best providers of fire risk assessments in the UK. The fire expertise, together with a robust quality assurance process, means the quality of fire risk assessments are high.

The customer services ethos of the leadership team, together with the number of directly employed fire risk assessors means Praxis42 are quick to respond and react to our changing prioritises and resourcing requirements.

Rachel Price – Director, Health and Safety Consulting UK&I at AECOM

Praxis42 have provided health, safety and food hygiene audits and risk assessments for our public house estate for nearly 10 years and visit over 3200 premises annually.  Their multi- skilled team understand what is required and apply pragmatic solutions to help us ensure compliance across the complex hospitality environment. Coupled with this they use technology to deliver and are flexible in their delivery and enable us to continuously improve our risk profile and are a pleasure to work with.

Dan Dutfield – Group Safety Manager – Ei Group

We worked with Praxis42 in August 2020 to obtain a Covid-19 Return to Work eLearning module for our staff. The module from Praxis42 stood out from others as it delivered on all fronts: the content was excellent, it was visually engaging as a result of using the latest eLearning software and the user experience was fantastic.

Willian Brown – HR Manager – The Glasgow School of Art

I would have no hesitation in recommending Praxis42 and their interactive and engaging training solutions.

Ian Horsman, Head of Health, Safety and Environment at Atos UK

The compliance learning management system tracks, records and reports on the training which provides just the right level of information for me to manage completion of the programme. Working with Praxis42 was very simple and they were helpful and professional throughout the process.

Marianne Pendray – Director of Operations, Legal and Compliance – ITV

Praxis42 were chosen after an extensive tender process earlier this year. The quality and range of the e-learning courses, assessments and documents were excellent and the ability to tailor these to the specific needs of Hiscox customers greatly appreciated. The team has shown themselves to be highly professional, flexible and dedicated to building a long-term partnership with Hiscox and delivering a great experience to our customers.

Chris Parker – UK Underwriting Vendor Manager – Hiscox

Praxis42 understands how a compliance programme is delivered and supports me at a strategic level, with insights and help with what often appears a complex subject, with pragmatic clear guidance, advice and solutions.

Ross Warden – Retail Director – Kurt Geiger

We like working with Praxis42 as they are large enough to manage the business requirement but are small enough to ensure that there is a personal relationship to assist with dynamic situations at speed to ensure that McColl’s needs are met.

Alison Fagan – Health and Safety Manager – McColl’s

We are delighted that our partnership with the Praxis42 team has been extended for a further three years and are looking forward to working with them on the next phase of our safety journey.

Ellen Davis – HSW Operations and Vendor Manager – BT
