Managed Cyber Awareness Program

Cyber Risk Essentials

Build Your Human Firewall

Overview

80–90% of breaches involve human interaction. The Cyber Risk Essentials Suite converts your most vulnerable point — your people — into your strongest line of defence. It combines automated phishing simulations, monthly self-paced training, quarterly instructor-led sessions, and executive coaching into a layered, managed programme that continuously measures and improves human security behaviour. Produces automated compliance reporting for cyber insurers and regulators.

Competitive Positioning

vs. KnowBe4

›CRS Cyber Risk Essentials is a managed programme — KnowBe4 requires partner/client to manage and run campaigns
›CRS includes instructor-led sessions and Executive Lunch-and-Learns — KnowBe4 is self-service only
›CRS includes dark web credential monitoring alongside training — KnowBe4 does not
›CRS programme is locally delivered with South African regulatory context (POPIA, FSCA)

vs. GoldPhish (SMBsecure Training module)

›Cyber Risk Essentials is a full managed programme — GoldPhish is a platform tool
›CRS adds executive coaching and quarterly live sessions beyond what GoldPhish delivers
›Complementary: GoldPhish platform powers the technical delivery; CRS wraps the managed service layer

vs. Internal security awareness (no vendor)

›Third-party simulations are more credible — employees know internal campaigns and dismiss them
›CRS provides external benchmarking and compliance reporting that internal teams cannot produce
›CRS programme frees internal IT/security staff from managing awareness campaigns
