Security Awareness Education

Security Awareness Education (SAE) for your staff helps ensure the proper handling of sensitive data which protects your business and protects your customers. Security Awareness Education also helps your organization fulfill compliance requirements.

Your staff may handle sensitive data as a part of their everyday routine and ensuring they understand the security risks surrounding their duties is imperative. By educating your employees, suppliers, partners and customers, you reduce the chances that your organization will become a victim of today's data security threats and ensure that all staff can properly handle an incident should one occur. In addition, a number of industry and regulatory compliance initiatives require subject organizations to institute a formal security awareness program for employees.

Trustwave's tailored security awareness education content meets the requirements of all common compliance regimes by delivering up-to-date training that targets the right audience with the right content at the right time.

The Trustwave Security Awareness Education Portal Benefits:

  • Makes training easy and efficient with on-demand, Web-based content
  • Demonstrates fulfillment of compliance requirements via tracking of course completion and evaluation results 
  • Educates you and your staff on integrating regulatory and industry compliance and security into their everyday routine 
  • Keeps you and your staff informed of the latest in data security issues with continual content updates 
  • Increases retention as a result of thorough, tested design and development of content by adult education and data security experts

Security Awareness for Merchant Owners & Managers

Owners and managers of retail businesses play a critical role in keeping sensitive information secure. They also have a lot at stake in the event of a security breach. Security Awareness for Merchant Owners and Managers trains people in these roles to be information security chiefs, not only protecting information but managing it securely.

By the end of this course, owners and managers will demonstrate basic knowledge of the Payment Card Industry and the information security regulatory environment. They will also be able to recognize their information security responsibilities and list best practices for managing and protecting valuable customer information.
