Free checklist · Cybersecurity Awareness Month

How cyber-smart is your team?

Build the security habits that protect your business — ten practical steps, not another once-a-year training.

Cybersecurity isn't only an IT department's job. Every employee makes small decisions all day that either strengthen your defenses or open a gap. This checklist gives leaders a concrete way to turn that idea into a program: training, communication, testing, and recognition that actually holds up after the kickoff meeting.

What's inside

Ten steps, grouped into what you can actually run

No new software required. Just a named owner, a few habits, and a review that happens on a calendar instead of by accident.

Train and test readiness

Interactive training tied to real job tasks, plus scheduled phishing simulations that coach employees instead of publicly calling them out.

Communicate and set guidelines

Make security a regular conversation, not a once-a-year email, and back it with policies written in plain language people will actually read.

Lead by example, tailor by role

Leaders follow the same MFA and password rules everyone else does, and finance, HR, and executives get guidance for the risks that actually target them.

Recognize good practices

Employees who report a suspicious message or catch a mistake early get acknowledged — so reporting becomes the norm, not something to hide.

Who it's for

For the leader who knows training alone isn't working

Most teams have sat through a cybersecurity training. Fewer have a system that turns that training into a habit — one where people know what to watch for, feel safe reporting a mistake, and see leadership following the same rules.

This checklist is the structure for that system. Ten steps, each one measurable, each one something you can start this month without a new budget line.

Owners and office managers building a security-awareness program from scratch
Practices and firms whose last training was a single video nobody remembers
Anyone about to run their first phishing simulation and wants to do it without shaming anyone
