Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Imogen sees a strange message on her laptop. What should she do first?

 

Speed matters. The team can judge the risk, but only once they know.

Lesson 1, The first ten minutes, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Why does the team want reports quickly, even when you are unsure?

 

Early reports give the team time to contain a problem and meet any legal duties.

Lesson 3, What happens next, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

What is containment?

 

Containment limits the damage while the team investigates.

Lesson 5, Drill: your role, teaches this. See the outline

Common questions

Yes. The course, the live deck and both surveys are free. Claiming the template into your AhaSlides account is free too.

The course itself is self-paced and online, and the live deck lets you add a live session. Whether online delivery meets your local rules depends on the law that applies to you, so check the rules that apply to you or ask your own counsel.

At onboarding, annually and before an incident exercise.

All staff, with an incident-team variant as a note; run by L&D with the security and privacy leads.

Record completion in your own LMS or record system, so you can show who finished the course and when. Check the retention period that applies to you in the rules that apply to you.

Yes, everything. Change the wording, swap scenarios for ones from your workplace, add your logo, or remove parts that don't apply. Keep anything your own law requires you to cover.

Your own details, each highlighted inside the course:
  • The route for reporting a security incident or suspected breach, and the time limit that applies
  • Your data protection officer or privacy lead
  • Link to the next course in your security awareness path
  • Where course completions are recorded
  • Link to the self-paced course
Then edit anything else you like: wording, scenarios, your logo.
