Do you want to protect your organisation against the growing threat of ever-increasingly realistic phishing emails? Mintivo offer a Phishing Training service which will enable your staff to be as vigilant and aware as possible against such attacks to your organisation.
Firewalls and spam filters are essential, however they are never 100% accurate. Training staff on what to look for in a ‘dodgy’ email is one of the core ways to protect your organisation from a phishing campaign or Cyber Attack.
Understanding your organisation’s current awareness of phishing emails is the first step. We send out multiple emails of varying levels of complexity to assess how likely it would be for a real phishing attempt to be successful.
With the data from the benchmarking, realistic looking emails are created and sent to employees often asking them to click a link or enter credentials for an online service in a safe, controlled environment.
Training is automatically delivered to users that have clicked on a link or entered credentials into one of the phishing tests sent out. Training is tracked and a significant reduction in successful attempts to access data and/or funds is seen when users are re-tested.
Mintivo’s online training is user-friendly and simple to understand. It points out the key areas to look for in a phishing email and explains what to do should you receive one. Phishing emails are now targeting specific organisations to replicate, such as banks and multi-national companies, which can be extremely realistic. It is no longer simply emails from long lost relatives with millions to give you. Isn’t it time you did something to raise awareness within your organisation?
Our fully-tracked training system will also give you a record of successful Cyber Security training for your organisation.
Cyber Security is critical for any business operating today. It is now the responsibility of not just the IT team but all employees to ensure that data and access to systems is secure.
GDPR should now be part of everyday business functions. The profile of IT and data security has never been higher. Businesses that demonstrate good Cyber health receive greater opportunities and contracts than those that don’t, for example all government contracts now stipulate a minimum of the Cyber Essentials qualification. Mintivo are increasingly seeing smaller organisations also requesting details of Vulnerability Scanning and Cyber Security practices before entering into contracts.

Cyber Essentials defines a set of controls which, when properly implemented, will provide organisations with basic protection from the most prevalent forms of threats coming from the Internet. It focuses on threats which are widely used online and require low levels of attacker skill.
In order to comply with GDPR and to protect your business, you want to ensure that risk management is the starting point for your organisation to protect your information assets. The Cyber Essentials Scheme provides the basic controls that all organisations should employ to mitigate against the risk of common internet-based threats.
As a key deliverable of the UK’s National Cyber Security Programme, the Cyber Essentials Scheme can be obtained via self-assessment, certified by an Accreditation body. The Cyber Essentials Plus Scheme is externally validated and provides the benefit of a full, externally audited certification option.
