Cybersecurity training and proof pack
This pack gives you cybersecurity training people actually finish, plus proof you can pull in minutes when a board member, funder, insurer, auditor, or vendor asks.
What it is
A Cybersecurity Training and Proof Pack is a simple, repeatable training plan paired with a ready-to-share evidence set. It turns “we told people to be careful” into completion, accountability, and board-ready proof.
Who it is for
It’s for mission-driven, high-trust teams where urgent work and sensitive client data collide, and training becomes the thing nobody can confidently prove. It is especially useful when new funder requirements, cyber insurance renewals, leadership transitions, near misses, or vendor incidents force fast answers.
A sustainable training cadence that respects reality: onboarding, annual refresh, and short quarterly nudges with clear due dates and escalation rules.
A simple training tracker with minimum fields that make reporting and follow-up objective, exportable, and fast.
A proof pack structure: evidence checklist, storage and retention guidance, and a one-page board-ready compliance summary that stays clean and calm.
What you will walk away with
FAQs
What makes this different from “annual training”?
Annual training is an event. This is a routine with ownership, deadlines, and proof, so you are not rebuilding history during an audit or incident.
How long should training take for staff?
Keep it short and predictable. The guide recommends 20 to 30 minutes for onboarding, 30 to 45 minutes for an annual refresh, and 5 to 8 minute quarterly micro-lessons.
Who is in scope, and how do we handle contractors or board members?
Put everyone in scope who touches systems or sensitive data, including contractors, volunteers, and the board. Keep their version shorter, but still tracked and acknowledged.
What “proof” should we be able to produce on demand?
At minimum: roster and completion status, dates assigned and completed, topics covered, policy sign-offs, phishing practice metrics, reminders and escalation history, exceptions, and new-hire enforcement evidence.
How should we run phishing practice without breaking trust?
Treat it like a fire drill, not a gotcha. Track click rate, report rate, repeat clicks, and time-to-report, then coach privately. Public shame teaches silence, and silence creates incidents.
Where do we store evidence and how long do we keep it?
Use one controlled-access folder with consistent file names and a simple index so anyone can retrieve proof quickly. Keep evidence for about three years, or align to your retention policy and funder requirements.
