Reliable & accurate data security awareness training
Protect your organisation from costly data breaches and cyber attacks by empowering your employees with Boxphish's engaging and effective data security awareness training.
Looking to prevent phishing attacks in your organisation?
Phishing attacks deceptively seek sensitive information like usernames and passwords, often disguised as legitimate communications. Our data security awareness training helps your business minimise these risks. Through a combination of phishing simulations and data security focused training content, you can raise awareness and arm your people with the knowledge needed to spot and report potential cyber attacks.
You might encounter various forms of phishing attacks, including:
- Email phishing: Fraudulent emails designed to trick you into clicking malicious links or revealing personal information.
- Spear phishing: Highly targeted attacks aimed at specific individuals or groups, often referencing personal details to appear more convincing.
- Smishing: Phishing attempts conducted via SMS or text messages.
- Vishing: Phishing attacks carried out through phone calls, where fraudsters impersonate legitimate entities.
- Whaling: A type of spear phishing specifically targeting high-profile individuals within an organisation, such as executives.
If you are concerned about or have experienced any of these attacks, book a demo with Boxphish to see how we can help your organisation.

FAQ
What is data security awareness training?
Data security awareness training teaches employees how to handle, store, share and dispose of sensitive information safely, covering classification, encryption, access control and data-loss prevention.
Why do employees need data security awareness training?
Most data breaches involve human error — emailing the wrong recipient, mishandling files or weak passwords. Training drastically reduces accidental and negligent data loss.
What topics are covered in data security awareness training?
Data classification, GDPR principles, secure file sharing, encryption, removable media, cloud storage hygiene, subject-access requests, breach reporting and the principle of least privilege.
How does data security awareness training support GDPR compliance?
GDPR Article 39 requires staff training on data protection. Documented courses, knowledge checks and reporting from Boxphish provide the audit trail regulators expect.
What is the difference between data protection and data security training?
Data protection training focuses on legal and ethical handling of personal data; data security training focuses on technical and behavioural safeguards. Both are essential and overlap heavily.
How often should data security awareness training be refreshed?
At least annually, with shorter top-ups quarterly and immediate refreshers after any incident, regulatory change or major business shift such as a new SaaS rollout.
Who in the business needs data security awareness training?
Everyone who touches data — which today means everyone. Higher-risk roles such as HR, finance, legal and customer support benefit from additional, scenario-based modules.
What are common data security mistakes employees make?
Sending data to the wrong recipient, using personal email or USB drives, weak or reused passwords, oversharing in collaboration tools and falling for phishing emails that exfiltrate data.
How can data security awareness training prevent insider threats?
By educating staff on acceptable use, monitoring expectations and reporting routes, while normalising a speak-up culture so suspicious behaviour is flagged before it escalates.
How does Boxphish deliver data security awareness training?
Through bite-sized video modules, interactive scenarios and quizzes mapped to GDPR, ISO 27001 and your internal data-handling policies, with completion and comprehension reporting built in.
