Security Training and Education

The first line of defense in protecting the security of any company or entity is the extent to which stakeholders carrying out the organization’s activities – and sometimes those benefiting from them – (1) understand their roles and responsibilities related to the organizational mission, (2) understand the organization’s security policies, procedures and practices, and (3) have at least an appropriately sufficient knowledge of the various governance, management, operational and technical controls required and available to protect the assets, operations, resources and people for which they are responsible.

Hillard Heintze’s security awareness training and education curriculum helps organizations raise security awareness among their stakeholders particularly with respect to topics such as threats and vulnerabilities, incident rates of these factors in comparable settings and organizations, individual roles and responsibilities, security strategy and plan, implementation highlights for the plan, expectations held by management – as well as “tone at the top”, reporting and escalation procedures, monitoring and measurement practices and enforcement mechanisms.
