Companies implement cyber awareness e- learning programs primarily to achieve a combination of risk reduction,
compliance, cultural, and operational goals.
Here’s a concise summary of the key outcomes they typically aim for:
Reduce Human-Related Security Incidents
Reduce the number of successful phishing attacks, malware infections via user actions and ransomware incidents
Studies consistently show 70–90 % of breaches involve a human element; companies want to shrink that percentage
Meet Regulatory and Compliance Requirements
Satisfy mandatory training obligations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOX, CCPA, DORA, etc.)
Provide auditable proof of training completion and comprehension (certificates, test scores)
Lower Financial and Reputational Risk
Avoid costly breaches (IBM’s 2024 report: average breach cost ~$4.88 million)
Reduce potential fines, lawsuits, and loss of customer trust
Achieve or Maintain Cyber Insurance Coverage / Better Premiums
Most insurers now require regular security awareness training and often give discounts for mature programs with metrics
Build a Security-Conscious Culture
Shift from “users are the weakest link” to “users are the first line of defence.”
Encourage employees to spot and report suspicious activity quickly
Improve Specific Behaviors and Knowledge
Stronger password practices, recognition of phishing/social engineering, safe use of mobile/remote work, proper handling of sensitive data, secure use of AI/GenAI tools, etc
Measurable ROI and Continuous Improvement
Track metrics such as phishing click rates (before/after training), reported suspicious emails, training completion rates and knowledge retention
Use simulated phishing campaigns to benchmark and show progress to leadership and auditors
Onboard New Employees Quickly and Consistently
Ensure every new hire (including contractors and third parties) receives the same baseline training
Protect Against Targeted Attacks on the Organization
Many attacks now start with spear-phishing or business email compromise aimed at specific employees (finance, executives), tailored training reduces that exposure.
Demonstrate Due Diligence to Boards, Customers, and Partners
Being able to say “We train all staff annually (or more often) and test them regularly” is now table stakes in RFPs and vendor questionnaires
In short, companies see cyber awareness e-learning not just as a checkbox, but as one of the most cost-effective ways to materially reduce their largest remaining cyber risk: their own people.
