Security awareness training
Security awareness training you can show an auditor
A course catalogue, a course player, completion tracking and certificates, in the same workspace as the controls that require training.
In short
Most frameworks require security awareness training, and many organisations buy a separate tool for it. Certifyi includes a course catalogue, a course player, completion tracking, certificates and training assignments by role, in the same workspace as your compliance programme.
Course catalogue
Ready-made courses on phishing, social engineering, data handling and password security.
Course player
Courses run in a player with video, slides and quizzes. The better courses put the learner in a realistic situation, such as an urgent payment request from the "CEO", and ask what they would do. That sticks better than a slide of rules.
Completion tracking and certificates
See who has completed which courses, their scores and which assignments are overdue. Certificates are issued on completion. Download them for the audit or attach them as evidence to the control that requires training.
| Course | Assigned | Completed | Overdue | Avg score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phishing awareness | 203 | 189 | 14 | 87% |
| Data handling | 203 | 195 | 8 | 91% |
| Password security | 203 | 178 | 25 | 82% |
| Social engineering | 44 | 41 | 3 | 89% |
Completion and scores across mandatory courses. Example data, not a customer record.
Training assigned by role
Assign mandatory training by role, department or person, with due dates and reminders. Everyone takes the baseline courses. Developers might also take secure coding, and the finance team a course on business email compromise.
Joiners and leavers
Auditors often check that new starters completed training within a set period of joining, and ask for the records of people who have since left. Assign the onboarding courses with a due date when someone joins, and keep their completion records after they leave for as long as your retention policy requires.
What it covers
Training records kept in the same workspace as the controls that require them.

Questions
Security awareness questions
Does this replace standalone security training tools?
It covers the course catalogue, course player, completion tracking and certificates. The difference is that training records sit beside your compliance programme and can be used as control evidence. Compare it with what your current tool does before switching.
What topics are covered?
Ready-made courses cover phishing, social engineering, data handling and password security.
Are completion certificates included?
Yes. Download them, or attach them to the control that requires training evidence.
How are new starters handled?
Assign the mandatory onboarding courses with a due date when someone joins, and the completion shows on the tracking view.
Can I assign different training by role?
Yes. Assign courses to roles, departments or individuals. Everyone takes the baseline. Developers might add secure coding, and finance might add business email compromise.
