Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

In-depth 25 Minutes For all staff

DORA rests on information and communication technology (ICT) risk management. Firms identify the systems they depend on, conduct risk assessments and put controls in place to protect operational integrity. Resilience testing shows whether the defences hold, and incident reporting and incident response set out what happens if they don’t. Suppliers come next: third-party risk and due diligence on third-party providers sit at the centre of the Digital Operational Resilience Act. Meanwhile, employee awareness helps stop cyber threats.

Electronic Communications

In-depth 25 Minutes For all staff

Business communications are disclosable in litigation and reviewable by regulators, and the informal register people use in chat tools does not read well years later out of context. Recording and retention obligations also extend to channels many staff assume are private. Setting the expectation clearly protects individuals from a message written quickly and protects the firm from having to explain it.

Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA)

In-depth 25 Minutes For all staff

A cyberattack on a bank’s payment system can disrupt customers and firms across several countries. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) sets out how financial entities must withstand, respond to and recover from those kinds of issues. This in-depth compliance course helps UK staff understand what DORA requires and why it matters to firms that serve EU customers or work with EU partners. DORA begins with ICT risk management: knowing which systems a firm depends on, conducting risk assessments, and protecting operational integrity. Resilience testing checks the defences work, while incident reporting and incident response set out what happens when they don’t. Understand why third-party risk is a major focus, how due diligence on third-party providers fits in, and why employee awareness is a key line of defence.

Information Security

Refresher 20 Minutes Cybersecurity For all staff

Security behaviour degrades between annual courses, and attackers rely on that. A short refresher keeps classification habits and email caution current without repeating the full course, which makes it practical to run more than once a year. For firms subject to DORA or regular client security assessments, a documented refresher cycle is increasingly what evidence of ongoing awareness actually means.

Cybersecurity Compliance Training Course

Express 20 Minutes Cybersecurity For all staff

Attackers target people because people are reachable and predictable under time pressure. The short format matters here: cyber awareness works best delivered frequently rather than thoroughly once a year, since the techniques change faster than annual training cycles. Running this across the whole workforce gives you a control that scales, and satisfies the staff awareness expectations that appear in client and supplier security assessments.

Phishing

Express 15 Minutes Cybersecurity For all staff

Phishing is how most breaches begin, and the messages have improved enormously with better tooling behind them. The decisive factor is rarely whether someone clicked but how quickly they said so. Training that removes the embarrassment around reporting shortens that gap, and short modules can be repeated often enough to keep pace with techniques that change every few months.
