Phishing Awareness Training in Edinburgh
Phishing awareness training for Edinburgh organisations, measured on the number that actually predicts your outcome. Click rate tells you how many people were caught; report rate tells you how quickly you find out you are under attack — and an organisation optimising only the first has improved nothing that matters during a real incident.
Why this comes up
The problem
The click rate is quoted every quarter, nobody knows the report rate, and the people who click are told off.
What you get
What we deliver
- Reporting made effortless, with a single button and an acknowledgement afterwards
- Report rate tracked and treated as the headline measure of the programme
- Simulation difficulty increased gradually rather than starting with the hardest
- Clickers supported rather than shamed, since fear delays the reports you need
- Real reported messages fed back into what the training covers
- Time to first report measured, because that is what limits the damage

Phishing Awareness Training in Edinburgh — common questions
- Why is report rate the better measure?
- Because somebody will always click. A campaign against a hundred people will catch a few regardless of training, and what determines whether that becomes an incident is how quickly security learns about it — which depends entirely on whether reporting is habitual.
- What is wrong with shaming people who click?
- It buys a lower click rate at the cost of the reports. Staff who expect embarrassment stay quiet, including on the day it is real, and the hours lost while somebody hopes nothing happened are worth far more than the statistic the approach improved.
- How difficult should simulations be?
- Progressively harder, matched to what your people actually receive. Starting with a convincing internal-looking request catches almost everybody and teaches only that the exercise is unfair, whereas building difficulty over several rounds develops real judgement.
- How should reported messages be handled?
- With a reply, every time. Somebody who reports a genuine phish and hears nothing concludes the button does nothing, and the programme decays quietly from there — whereas a short acknowledgement, and occasionally a note that their report led to a block, sustains the behaviour better than any amount of training content.
- Do you work with businesses across City of Edinburgh?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh and the surrounding City of Edinburgh area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Edinburgh businesses do you usually work with?
- Financial services and data-led work, plus seasonal systems that have to absorb enormous August load without falling over. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Technology, Tourism, Higher Education and Data Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Edinburgh?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Glasgow. Edinburgh is an urban area of roughly 540,000+, and we take on work across the wider City of Edinburgh region rather than the city boundary alone.
