Cybersecurity Awareness Training
For early-stage companies that have purchased cybersecurity insurance and found it requires annual training for all staff, this training has a free tier. Staff can sign up for an account directly and take a screenshot of the completion page and forward it to the person responsible for compliance. This type of program is far less effective than a paid plan but can be used until company revenues allow you to invest in a proper cybersecurity program.
