Security awareness training for small businesses

Small businesses are targeted precisely because they have fewer defences. The good news is that a simple programme makes a big difference.

Why small teams are at risk

Attackers use automated phishing and invoice fraud against businesses of every size. In a small team, one person often handles payments, IT and customer data, so a single mistake has a bigger impact.

A programme that fits

  • A short induction for everyone
  • A five-to-ten-minute module each month
  • A simulated phishing email every month or quarter
  • A one-click report button in Outlook or Gmail
  • A short summary for the owner each quarter

We set it up and run it, so it does not become another job for you.

Getting the basics right

Combine training with the technical basics in Cyber Essentials, especially MFA, patching and malware protection, and you will have removed a large share of everyday risk.

How Forever Systems runs your training programme

We are vendor-agnostic. We will recommend the platform that suits your size, sector and budget, then run it for you so it actually happens month after month.

  • Baseline phishing test to measure where you start
  • Platform selection and set-up, with single sign-on and automatic user sync where available
  • A year-round schedule of short modules and simulated phishing campaigns
  • Reporting for the board, insurers and auditors, showing completion and click-rate trends
  • Joined-up defences: email security, MFA and endpoint protection so training is backed by technology

Forever Systems Ltd provides IT and cyber security services to UK organisations.

Frequently asked questions

Is security awareness training worth it for a business with five people?

Yes. Many platforms price per user, so it scales down, and phishing and payment fraud target small firms constantly.

How much admin is involved?

With us managing it, very little: we add new starters, schedule campaigns and send you the reports.
