Mandatory Security Awareness Training

This question asks whether every single employee in your company is required to complete security training. It's about ensuring everyone - from engineers to sales to the receptionist - understands basic security practices like recognizing phishing emails, handling passwords properly, and protecting customer information.

Employees are your biggest security vulnerability - 90% of breaches involve human error. Mandatory training transforms your team from a security weakness into your first line of defense. Enterprise clients require this because they know untrained employees can undo millions in security technology with one clicked link. Without mandatory training, you're essentially gambling that untrained staff won't cause the breach that ends your company.

Making training optional or only for technical staff leaves huge gaps - attackers often target non-technical employees precisely because they're less security-aware. Another mistake is one-time training at hire without regular refreshers, leaving employees vulnerable to new threats.
