VERITY GOVERN · Security Awareness

A security awareness program your board can see the metrics on.

Curriculum design, training cadence, phishing-simulation strategy, and executive reporting for a security awareness program that goes beyond an annual checkbox video.

Service Overview

What Security Awareness Program Design Includes

Most security awareness training exists to check a compliance box — an annual video, a quiz, a certificate. Security Awareness Program Design builds the governance layer around awareness training that actually changes behavior: a curriculum mapped to your organization’s real risk profile, a training cadence beyond once a year, a phishing-simulation strategy with a defined escalation path for repeat clickers, and executive-level metrics your board can actually see change over time.

This service designs the program; day-to-day delivery — the actual training platform, phishing simulation sends, and reporting dashboard — runs through Armorstack’s Security Awareness Training & Phishing Simulation managed service. Think of this as the governance and strategy layer that makes the operational service effective rather than a compliance formality.

Deliverables

What’s Included

Every Security Awareness Program Design engagement is scoped in writing before work begins.

Curriculum

Risk-Mapped Curriculum Design

Training curriculum mapped to your actual risk profile — role-based content, not one-size-fits-all modules.

Cadence

Training Cadence & Escalation Path

Defined training frequency and a documented escalation path for repeat phishing-simulation failures.

Simulation

Phishing Simulation Strategy

Simulation difficulty progression and scenario design aligned to real threats your organization faces.

Reporting

Executive & Board Metrics

Reportable metrics — click rates, report rates, time-to-report — presented in board-ready format.

Who This Is For

Who Needs This

Compliance-Driven Programs

Organizations whose current training exists only to satisfy a SOC 2, HIPAA, or cyber-insurance checkbox.

Post-Phishing-Incident Organizations

Companies that experienced a successful phishing attack and need a credibly redesigned program, not just a re-run of the old one.

Boards Wanting Visible Metrics

Leadership teams that want to see awareness training metrics trend over time, not just a completion percentage.

Frameworks & Standards Alignment

Security Awareness Program Design is built to map cleanly against the frameworks your organization is accountable to.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the existing Security Awareness Training & Phishing Simulation page?
That service is the operational platform — the actual training delivery and phishing simulation sends. This VERITY Govern service is the strategy and governance layer: curriculum design, cadence, escalation policy, and executive reporting built around that operational service.
Can this run without the operational training platform?
The program design can be delivered standalone, but it is built to plug directly into Armorstack’s managed training and phishing-simulation service for execution — most clients engage both together.
What metrics will our board actually see?
Typically click rate, report rate, time-to-report, and repeat-offender trend over time, translated into a board-ready summary rather than a raw vendor dashboard export.
