Information & Cyber Security Awareness
Online E-Learning Training
Designed Specifically for Charities and VCSE's
"VSL courses bring what can be complex and confusing (but extremely important) subjects to life in a way that makes learning interesting and easily digestible.
​
We found the Cyber Security course to be particularly helpful and very complementary to their GDPR course. I’m glad that our team have undertaken both options."

Your Charity is at Risk
​
Charities like yours have never been at a greater risk from cyber-attacks and online theft. With large amounts of very sensitive data about staff, volunteers and beneficiaries, cyber criminals see charities as an easy target.
The simplest way for criminals to access your systems, steal and sell your data, or hold you to ransom, is through your staff and volunteers.
All the expensive technology out there won’t prevent a successful attack if your people inadvertently allow them into your network through a lack of understanding of the risks and how they can be targeted.
​
These risks have increased significantly now that many of us are working remotely, and many charities allow staff and volunteers to use their own devices.
​
You Can Significantly Reduce This Risk
This jargon free training will give your staff and volunteers the tools that they need to identify a cyber-attack, what to do if they are targeted, and the simple practical steps they can immediately take to significantly reduce the risk of your charity being the victim of a successful attack, with all the financial and reputational damage this will cause.
