One click, everything flat: why security awareness is more than technology
You can secure your IT all you want…
Firewalls ✔️
Antivirus ✔️
MFA ✔️
But one inattentive click from a colleague?
💥 And everything is down.
Recognizable situation:
A phishing email is forwarded to colleagues.
Sensitive info leaks.
The notification requirement for a data breach kicks in.
👉 Stress, lost time, damaged reputation.
The weakest link? Man.
Many SMEs invest heavily in technical security.
But forget that it is often the behavior of employees that poses the greatest risk.
And that is exactly what security awareness is all about.
🧠 How aware are your colleagues?
At ALTA-ICT, we help SME organizations address awareness structurally. Here’s how we do it:
🔹 Practical awareness training, online and on location
🔹 We measure who clicks or responds to test emails
🔹 The training connects to behavior within your organization
🔹 All in accordance with ISO27001, with a view to NIS2 or certification
📊 What are other organizations doing?
In a recent poll, respondents indicated¹:
📈 81% already take regular training courses
😶 6% do occasional test emails
❓ 6% are not doing anything concrete yet
🔍 6% are still looking for an IT partner
Are you already ISO certified or do you want to become ISO certified?
Then you need a partner who thinks and works with you.
👉 Sign up for training, or spar with us without obligation on how you can meet the requirements.
