Empower Your People to be Your Strongest Defence
Cyber Security Awareness Training
Why Security Awareness Matters
Human Error is The #1 Cyber Risk
More than 60% of cyber incidents in Australia are caused by staff mistakes. Without the knowledge to identify risks such as clicking on a phishing email, downloading a malicious attachment, or sending sensitive information to the wrong person, these mistakes can happen. Firewalls and antivirus software can only go so far; it’s people who are on the front line.
That’s where IQPC’s Security Awareness Training steps in – a practical, people-focused opportunity built for busy SMBs that don’t have time for IT jargon but want the confidence that their staff know how to act safely online.

Simple, Effective, Ongoing Protection
What’s Included in Our Security Awareness Training
For small and mid-sized businesses, the stakes are high. A single accidental click can trigger ransomware, compromise client data, and damage your reputation. On top of this, frameworks such as SMB1001, the ACSC Essential Eight, and the Australian Privacy Act now expect businesses to demonstrate that their teams are trained and aware.
Our program at IQPC is designed to keep staff engaged while giving you proof of compliance and measurable results:
- Engaging Online Learning Modules | Short, interactive lessons that staff can complete in under 10 minutes.
- Real-World Phishing Simulations | Safe tests that teach staff how to spot and stop malicious emails before they cause damage.
- Customisable Training Plans | Tailored to your industry, compliance needs, and staff roles.
- Progress Reporting & Dashboards | Clear, trackable data that shows completion rates and improvement over time.
- Regular Updates | Training evolves with new threats so your staff are never left behind.
Timeframes
- Initial setup & rollout: usually completed in 1–2 days.
- Ongoing training: monthly micro-lessons and phishing simulations.
- Reviews: quarterly or annual reports to track progress, highlight risks, and keep you aligned with compliance requirements.
case study
Capo and Co
For over a decade, Capo and Co, a trusted accounting firm in Mount Hawthorn, Perth, has relied on our expertise to manage its IT infrastructure. Their journey with us began with an on-premises setup featuring a MYOB application server and locally connected computers. However, as the industry evolved and cybersecurity threats increased, they recognised the need for a modern, secure, and cost-effective IT solution.
We transitioned Capo and Co to a cloud-first organisation, while introducing cybersecurity measures, including staff awareness training, managed identity protection and network penetration testing. This approach has given them greater resilience against evolving threats, improved efficiency, and a future-ready IT foundation.

Common Security Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is security awareness training important for small businesses?
Unfortunately, humans are the weakest link in most cybersecurity related incidents. Training helps to reduce mistakes, meet compliance obligations, and protect your reputation.
How often should staff do cybersecurity training?
Ongoing training works best, as in the digital world, things are always changing. At IQPC, we provide monthly digital lessons and phishing simulations, with quarterly or annual reports to measure progress.
Does this training meet compliance requirements like SMB1001 or Essential Eight?
Will this disrupt my team’s work?
Not at all. Each lesson takes less than 10 minutes, and phishing simulations happen in the background. Training is designed to be simple, flexible, and low-impact.
What if staff forget what they’ve learned?
That’s why we use regular, ongoing training instead of a one-off course. Repetition builds habits, and new modules keep knowledge fresh as threats evolve.
