Security Awareness Training
Technology cannot fix human behavior. Phishing, social engineering, and credential theft account for the majority of cybersecurity incidents in Saudi Arabia — and no firewall blocks an employee who clicks a malicious link or shares their password. A mature security awareness program is not a compliance checkbox. It is a measurable behavior change program that reduces your organization's human-layer risk.
NCA ECC-2:2024 explicitly mandates that organizations develop and maintain cybersecurity awareness programs. SAMA CSF requires ongoing security awareness training as a core people security control. Our programs are designed to meet and exceed both requirements.
The Problem with Most Awareness Programs
Most organizations deliver an annual e-learning module and call it done. The result: employees who can pass a quiz but still click phishing emails, reuse passwords, and share sensitive data via unencrypted channels. Regulatory auditors increasingly require evidence of program effectiveness — not just completion rates.
Our approach is different: continuous, role-targeted, and measurable. We track behavior change over time — not just whether employees clicked "complete."
Program Components
Security Awareness Curriculum
A structured 12-month awareness calendar covering the topics that matter most to Saudi organizations: phishing and social engineering, password security and MFA, data classification and handling, remote work security, PDPL obligations, incident reporting, and mobile device security. Available in Arabic and English, with content customized to your sector and regulatory context.
Phishing Simulation Campaigns
Controlled, realistic phishing simulations targeting your employees — using the same techniques employed by threat actors targeting Saudi organizations. Monthly campaigns with progressive difficulty, department-level reporting, and immediate targeted training for employees who fall for simulated attacks. Results tracked over time to measure behavior improvement.
Role-Based Training
Generic awareness training does not address the specific risks faced by your finance team, IT administrators, HR department, or executive leadership. We deliver targeted modules for high-risk roles: privileged users, data controllers under PDPL, board members, and third-party contractors.
Executive Cyber Briefings
Board members and senior executives are the highest-value targets for spear phishing and CEO fraud. We deliver tailored briefings that explain their personal risk exposure, the regulatory accountability they carry under SAMA and NCA frameworks, and practical steps they can take immediately — in language that resonates with business leaders, not technologists.
Security Culture Assessment
Before designing your program, we measure your current security culture baseline using validated survey methodology. This establishes a benchmark and allows you to demonstrate measurable improvement to regulators and auditors over time.
Awareness Program Compliance Package
Full documentation of your awareness program for NCA ECC and SAMA CSF audit purposes — including program charter, training records, phishing simulation results, and evidence of continuous improvement.
Program Deliverables
- Annual security awareness calendar and curriculum
- 12 months of phishing simulation campaigns with reporting
- Role-based training modules (Arabic + English)
- Executive cyber briefing sessions
- Security culture baseline and post-program measurement report
- NCA ECC / SAMA CSF compliance evidence package

Measurable Outcomes
We set specific, measurable targets at the start of every engagement: phishing click rate reduction, password hygiene improvement, incident reporting rate increase. At program conclusion, you receive a before-and-after measurement report that demonstrates ROI and satisfies regulatory evidence requirements.
