Standards Based Training

simplEtraining's Security Awareness and Literacy training is standards based and "plug and play." Any organization can deploy it with little or no customization and meet both government and industry standards, including Section 508, SCORM 1.2, and ISO 17799/BS7799.

ISO 17799 / BS 7799

ISO 17799 is an internationally recognized code of practice offering guidelines for information security management, including end-user security awareness training. Within the ISO 17799 / BS 7799 code of practice, providing appropriate training and education is considered a "Critical Success Factor."

The objective is "To ensure that users are aware of information security threats and concerns, and are equipped to support organizational security policy in the course of their normal work." The standard also calls for the same training to be given to "third party users" and for regular updates to be a part of awareness program. simplEtraining's Security Awareness Solution meets and exceeds end-user security awareness training requirements as laid out in ISO 17799 / BS 7799 by providing:

• General information security training [outline]
• Coverage of Viruses and Worms
• Coverage of Mobile computing
• Coverage of Incident response
• Monthly updates via the Security Awareness eNewsletter
• Local policies and procedures via course customization
• New employee training requirements by internally mandating the training before allowing new users on the network
