Cyber attacks don’t just target technology, they target people. Phishing and social engineering are designed to look authentic, often mimicking the tools, suppliers, and processes your team uses every day. That’s why effective cyber awareness training needs to be relevant, repeatable, and measured — not a once-a-year box-tick.
At Disking IT, our Cyber Awareness Training is a fully bespoke service that combines structured training with simulated phishing attacks to reduce human‑factor risk and build safer day-to-day habits. We deliver awareness training for new and existing staff, completed on a set basis, and we run phishing simulations that can be customised to match the platforms and services your business actually uses.
Cyber awareness training helps your staff recognise common threats and respond safely — especially phishing attempts, impersonation, and social engineering. It improves judgement at the moment it matters: when someone is rushed, distracted, or faced with an “urgent” request.
Phishing is typically delivered by email or message and pushes users to click links to malicious websites, open dangerous attachments, or give away sensitive information such as passwords. In targeted attacks (“spear phishing”), messages may be tailored using information about your organisation or employees to make them more convincing.
The UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025 found 43% of businesses experienced a cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months
Among organisations that had a breach/attack, phishing was the most prevalent and disruptive type, reported by 85% of affected businesses.
The same survey reports phishing was identified by 35% of micro businesses and 42% of small businesses (showing how often user-targeted attacks land in SMEs).
The survey estimates the average cost of the most disruptive breach at £1,600 per business (or £3,550 when excluding £0 responses), before wider knock‑on impacts are considered.
New starters are a common target: they’re still learning systems, people, and processes. Our onboarding training gives them a clear baseline and makes “safe behaviour” part of day one, not something they pick up after a close call.
Security awareness is a habit. Your programme runs on an agreed schedule (for example, onboarding plus annual refreshers, or more frequent cycles where risk is higher). Training can be structured into manageable modules so it fits around work, without disrupting operations.
We run simulated phishing campaigns to test how staff respond in realistic scenarios. This helps you identify where risk sits, and it gives staff a safe way to learn what to look for, without the consequences of a real attack.
This is where our service stands out: we can create simulation emails based on your real-world platforms and workflows, including “look and feel” scenarios aligned to the tools you use day-to-day. This supports realistic training and more meaningful results.
The goal isn’t to “catch people out”, it’s to improve behaviour. We use outcomes from training and simulations to reinforce the right habits, target coaching where needed, and build a stronger security culture over time.

It depends on your risk profile and requirements. Many businesses use onboarding plus annual refreshers, while others run more frequent cycles.
Training can be delivered in short modules and does not have to be completed in one session.
They should be planned carefully and used as a learning tool. Good guidance recommends a layered approach and warns against treating simulations as the only defence.
The purpose is safe learning. Simulations are designed to educate and improve behaviour, not punish staff.
Yes. many policies expect staff awareness training and regular refreshers, and a structured programme helps demonstrate that training is in place.
Yes, it can be delivered standalone, or alongside broader security services and reviews.
