Awareness training that measurably reduces phishing clicks, not an annual module people click through.
Most security awareness training is compliance e-learning that staff complete without reading. We deliver a program that works: role-based content for finance, HR, executives and IT, monthly simulated phishing, quarterly micro-training, and a click-rate trend your leadership can actually watch improve. It also produces the training evidence that HIPAA assessors, SOC 2 auditors, the FTC Safeguards Rule and cyber insurance carriers increasingly expect.

Seven components of a security awareness program that actually works.
Baseline all-staff training
A one-hour live session (virtual or recorded) covering phishing recognition, password hygiene, MFA, physical security and incident reporting. Delivered annually with a new-hire refresh so nobody starts unprotected.
Role-based deep-dives
Finance: BEC, payment-redirect scams, vendor impersonation. HR: resume-attachment malware, fake-applicant social engineering. Executives: whaling, board impersonation. IT: credential harvest and fake vendor support.
Monthly simulated phishing
Simulated phishing sent monthly, with click rate, report rate and credential-disclosure rate tracked. Difficulty increases as the team matures, and just-in-time micro-training lands the moment somebody clicks.
Quarterly micro-training
5-10 minute modules on one topic per quarter: vishing, BEC, deepfake awareness, social engineering. Reinforcement without training fatigue, which is what keeps the material current between annual sessions.
Password and MFA training
Practical, hands-on sessions where staff actually set up a password manager and enroll in MFA, including phishing-resistant methods, rather than watching a video about the theory.
Incident reporting culture
Staff trained to report rather than hide, with visible appreciation when they do. Closing the "noticed but did not report" gap is what shortens the time an attacker gets to persist.
Monthly reporting and burndown
Click-rate trend, report-rate trend, training-completion status and top-risk users for targeted intervention. A monthly report to your security lead and a quarterly summary to the executive team.
Four reasons IT leaders choose GR.
Measurable, not just delivered
Most training programs deliver content and stop. We measure the outcome: click rate over time, report rate over time, behavior change captured as audit evidence. Compliance frameworks and insurers now expect measurement, and the program produces it by design.
Built for real workforces
Deskless staff, shift workers, multi-site teams and diverse language backgrounds are the norm in US mid-market companies, not the exception. Recorded and mobile-friendly formats, and translated materials where a workforce needs them, keep coverage honest instead of desk-only.
Compliance-evidence ready
Training records, completion tracking and click-rate trends formatted for the people who ask: HIPAA assessors, SOC 2 auditors, FTC Safeguards Rule reviews, NYDFS Part 500 examinations and cyber insurance questionnaires. The evidence pack is a default deliverable, not an extra.
Role-based, not one-size-fits-all
Generic awareness training gets ignored by the finance team even though BEC is their problem. Role-based training is relevant, retained, and changes behavior, and the investment per role pays back in the incidents that never happen.
Six profiles where training has the highest impact.
Finance and accounting teams
The top target for BEC and payment redirection. Trained finance staff are the control that catches the fraudulent wire before it leaves.
HR and recruiting teams
Resume-attachment malware and pre-employment social engineering arrive in their inbox by design. Training reduces inbox-based attacks at the point of entry.
Executive and C-suite teams
Whaling and impersonation targets whose names are on the website. Training reduces successful executive-impersonation attacks in both directions.
IT and engineering teams
Credential-harvest targets holding the most privileged access. A higher attack rate justifies deeper, more technical training.
Customer-service and sales teams
Customer-impersonation targets trained to be helpful. Training reduces account-takeover precursor success without making them unhelpful.
Regulated and insured firms
HIPAA workforce training requirements, FTC Safeguards Rule and NYDFS Part 500 personnel training expectations, SOC 2 audits and cyber insurance questionnaires all ask for awareness training with evidence. We deliver to that bar.
Three awareness-training approaches.

Compliance evidence | Audit-ready | Completion only | Insufficient |
Behavior change demonstrable | Yes, trended | No | No |
From baseline to ongoing operations.
- 1
Program design
1-2 weeks
A workshop with your security lead and HR. Identify high-risk roles, current training maturity, regulatory requirements and tone. Output: a written training-program design.
- 2
Baseline measurement
2-3 weeks
A pre-training simulated phishing campaign establishes the click-rate baseline, alongside a short survey of current security knowledge. Output: the metrics improvement will be measured against.
- 3
Baseline training delivery
2-4 weeks
All-staff baseline training, live or recorded for shift workers, plus role-based deep-dive sessions for the high-risk groups. Training records captured for compliance from day one.
- 4
Simulation rhythm begins
From month 2
Monthly simulated phishing with just-in-time micro-training on clicks, difficulty rising as the team matures, and results read by department so the differences mean something.
- 5
Ongoing program operation
Continuous
Quarterly micro-training, monthly burndown reporting, an annual baseline refresh, and a compliance evidence pack assembled quarterly so audit and insurance-renewal season needs no scramble.
What buyers ask before engaging.
Services that pair with awareness training.
Book a training consultation and we will deliver a written design.
A one-week workshop with your security and HR leads. Output: a written training program design with a content map, simulated-phishing plan, role-based modules, and the compliance-evidence framework your auditors and insurer will ask about.
