Role and risk-based program
Map training to leadership, finance, administrators, remote workers, customer-facing teams, new hires, sensitive-data users, and other roles with different decisions and exposure.
Security awareness training in Savannah
Help employees recognize risk and know exactly how to report it.
F09 Tech builds practical security awareness programs for Savannah businesses through relevant learning, safe phishing simulations, role-based scenarios, reporting practice, measurement, and documented follow-up.

Security awareness services
Training designed around the messages and decisions employees face.
Awareness works best when it is relevant, brief enough to absorb, easy to report, supported by managers, connected to real controls, and followed by constructive coaching instead of blame.
Learning and reinforcement
Coordinate onboarding, recurring lessons, knowledge checks, policy acknowledgment, timely reminders, manager communication, and focused follow-up around relevant risks.
Phishing and scenario practice
Run authorized simulations and practical scenarios for email, calls, text, payment changes, account access, vendors, data handling, lost devices, and incident reporting.
Reporting and improvement
Make the reporting channel easy to find and use, test routing and response, analyze patterns, close technical or process gaps, and document corrective actions.
How the engagement works
Measure the behavior the business needs, not just module completion.
We define the risks, roles, obligations, reporting path, learning schedule, simulation rules, privacy expectations, support, measures, and improvement process before launching the program.
- 01
Assess
Review workforce roles, sensitive processes, common threats, incidents, policies, technical controls, reporting, training history, and obligations.
- 02
Design
Define audiences, topics, cadence, onboarding, scenarios, simulation scope, privacy, communication, support, measures, and escalation.
- 03
Launch
Prepare leaders and employees, confirm reporting and allowlisting, deliver learning, run approved practice, and support questions.
- 04
Review
Analyze completion, knowledge, reports, timing, patterns, technical failures, process confusion, support needs, and corrective actions.
- 05
Reinforce
Provide focused coaching, role-specific follow-up, timely reminders, policy or control improvements, and the next program cycle.
What gets delivered
An awareness program with a purpose, schedule, and owner.
The program documents who learns what, how employees report concerns, how simulations are governed, which measures matter, and how findings lead to safer technology and business procedures.
NIST small-business employee awareness resourcesNIST provides small-business resources for employee cybersecurity awareness and building a culture of cyber readiness. We apply that principle through relevant learning, reporting practice, simulations, measurement, and continuous improvement.- Workforce role, risk, obligation, policy, incident, training, reporting, and technical-control assessment
- Program charter covering audiences, objectives, topics, cadence, onboarding, ownership, privacy, and support
- Learning schedule, approved content, manager communication, employee instructions, and reporting guidance
- Simulation authorization, scenarios, audience, exclusions, allowlisting, timing, support, escalation, and data handling
- Completion, knowledge, reporting, timing, pattern, repeat, and corrective-action measurement baseline
- Leadership report, focused follow-up, process and technical recommendations, ownership, and next-cycle plan
Good fit signals
A strong fit when security depends on employees making quick decisions.
Awareness training is especially valuable when employees handle money, credentials, sensitive information, remote access, customer communication, or vendor changes and need a clear, practiced way to verify and report concerns.
- Employees receive recurring phishing, impersonation, payment-change, password-reset, or document-sharing messages.
- New-hire and annual training exist, but role-specific risks and reporting practice are missing.
- Employees are unsure where to report a suspicious message or what happens after they report it.
- Simulation results are tracked, but findings do not lead to coaching, control changes, or process improvement.

Small Business Cybersecurity Assessment Checklist
Use this small business cybersecurity assessment checklist to examine ownership, accounts, devices, data, vendors, backups, and incident readiness.
Read the guideCommon questions
Clear answers before you commit.
What topics should security awareness training cover?
The program should match the business's risks and roles. Common topics include phishing, business email compromise, passwords and multifactor authentication, sensitive data, safe browsing, devices, remote work, payment or wire requests, physical access, vendor impersonation, incident reporting, and the use of AI tools.
Do you provide phishing simulations?
Yes, when simulations are appropriate for the organization and safely authorized. The program defines scope, timing, technical allowlisting, privacy, reporting, escalation, support, and how results will be used. Simulations should reinforce reporting and improvement rather than embarrass employees.
Is annual security training enough?
A yearly module can support a requirement, but awareness is more useful when reinforced through onboarding, short recurring lessons, timely reminders, role-specific scenarios, reporting practice, and lessons from real events. Frequency should match risk, obligations, workforce change, and the selected service plan.
How do you measure whether training is helping?
Useful measures can include completion, knowledge checks, simulation reporting, reporting speed, use of the correct channel, repeat patterns, role or department themes, onboarding coverage, and corrective follow-up. Click rate alone can hide whether employees recognize and report suspicious activity.
Does awareness training replace technical security controls?
No. Training should reinforce email security, multifactor authentication, endpoint protection, access controls, payment verification, monitoring, backups, and incident response. Employees should not be expected to compensate for weak technology or unclear business procedures.
Give employees a reporting habit before the next suspicious message.
Start with the roles, messages, decisions, and reporting path that matter most. We will identify the clearest training priorities and a practical first program cycle.
