## The weak link isn't the technology, it's people.

The vast majority of cyberattacks begin with human error: a click on a phishing link, a reused password, an attachment opened without a second thought. No technical protection makes up for an employee who hasn't been made aware.

Effective **cyber awareness** turns every employee into a first line of defense: recognizing a phishing attempt, managing their passwords, reporting an incident, protecting the data they handle. It's a reflex to maintain, not a one-off session.

This hub also covers **employee data-protection training**: understanding what personal data is, the principles of data-protection regulation, the right daily reflexes and how to respond to a data breach.

## Your questions about cyber awareness.

Data protection and cybersecurity: the essentials before you deploy.

Who is employee data-protection training for? +

All employees who handle data, whatever their role. The fundamentals module is designed to be understood with no prior legal knowledge, using concrete everyday examples.

How often should cyber awareness be refreshed? +

An annual awareness session is a good baseline, complemented by regular refreshers. The micro-learning format makes this repetition easy: short modules, simple to reschedule, that keep reflexes sharp without wearing people out.

Are the modules also suitable for production workstations? +

Yes. A dedicated module covers cybersecurity in industrial environments: removable media, access to production workstations and PLCs, risks specific to OT systems. The content speaks the language of the shop floor, not just the office.

Can completion be tracked for compliance? +

Yes. Each module issues a traceable certificate with a complete history, integrable with your LMS via SCORM or xAPI — useful for demonstrating that your teams have been made aware in the event of an audit.

Where is the platform's data hosted? +

Data is hosted and processed in the European Union, in compliance with the GDPR. The consistency is total: we apply to our own platform the requirements we teach.
