TrainingData Risks
Where people meet technology, that risk can cost you badly. Our GDPR and cyber security awareness training is practical, plain-English and genuinely engaging – the understanding that turns your staff from your biggest data risk into your first line of defence. Not a legal lecture. Not a slideshow of regulations.
Two courses, one theme
One theme: understanding how data moves through your organisation, and where the human risk sits. Run the two courses separately, or combine both into a single day.
Course 01
Practical, real-world training in recognising and responding to threats. Pitched at staff who aren’t technical, because they’re usually the biggest vulnerability in any organisation’s security. No jargon, no scare tactics, and a lot more engaging than you’d think.
Course 02
What the regulations actually mean for your organisation, in plain English. Not a recitation of the legislation, and not as dry as you’re expecting. A practical session on what staff need to know, what to do differently, and why it matters beyond the fine.
Would your team spot it?
A convincing sign-in page is one of the oldest tricks there is, and it still works. This one gives itself away three times over. Noticing that, on a busy Tuesday, is the instinct our cyber security awareness training builds – and phishing is only the email version. The same trick arrives by phone and in person too.

In the room
Listen · vishing
We listen in together on a genuine recorded vishing call – a scammer talking a real person round over the phone. You hear the friendliness, the manufactured urgency, and the exact moment it nearly works. Nothing lands the lesson quite like it.
Build · write your own
We get people to write their own phishing email – and they immediately hit the attacker’s problems. You can’t use starbucks.com, so you’re stuck faking it. Once you know why phishers make the choices they do, you spot those same tells everywhere.
And on your own forms?
Under GDPR, consent has to be a genuine choice, freely given and clear. This sign-up screen breaks that three ways over – the kind of thing our GDPR training helps your team notice and put right.

Compliance, done properly
If you need to demonstrate that your staff have had data protection or cyber security awareness training – whether for an audit, a contract, an insurer, or simply because it’s the right thing to do – we can help with that.
The goal is understanding, not a signature on a register.
Staff who understand why data handling matters, and what the real risks look like, are worth far more than staff who sat through a session and ticked a box. We aim for the former, and the compliance record follows naturally.
The practical details
The two courses run differently, because they’re doing different jobs. Here’s roughly what to expect from each.
Course 01
Duration
Ninety minutes. Long enough to cover the ground properly, short enough that a room of non-technical staff stays genuinely engaged.
Delivery
On-site is always the preferred option – it’s easier to keep energy up and handle questions in the room. But if you need to do this via Teams, that's okay too.
Group size
Works well up to around twenty. Larger than that, worth a quick conversation.
Course 02
Duration
Two hours to a full day. Why so vague? Well, the content is completely driven by what you need. A whole-staff overview is a different session from an in-depth day for data leads.
Delivery
On-site is better if possible – the energy you get in the room is really hard to replicate when everyone is just a small inch-square image. But we can do it via Teams if needs be.
Group size
Flexible, from a small group of senior staff to an all-hands session for the whole organisation.
Both sessions are shaped around your organisation: your data, your systems, your staff’s actual responsibilities. Just tell us what you need when we speak.
Trusted where it matters
We’ve delivered data risk training across the public sector, education and professional services – all places with real data protection obligations and staff who need to understand them in practice, not just in theory.
What people say on the way out
You have shone a torch on a particularly dark and confusing corner for us – the best Seminar that we have ever run was your GDPR seminar.
This Cyber-Security training session was one of the best face-to-face sessions that I have attended in a long time. The trainer was engaging and the topic was very relevant.
Every session comes with our standard training guarantee. If it isn’t right, we’ll put it right – no quibble, no small print.

Tell us which course you’re interested in – or both – roughly how many people, and when you’re thinking of running it. We’ll come back with a date and a price. Not sure what you need? We’re happy to talk it through first, and it’ll be Andrew who replies, not a call handler.
No obligation, no sales pressure. Just a straight answer on dates and price, usually within one working day.
We’ll reply within one working day, usually sooner.
