How can I benchmark my team's cyber security awareness?

An anonymous cybersecurity awareness survey can assess your team’s understanding of critical security practices. Skillcast offers ready-to-use surveys to benchmark awareness levels and identify areas needing extra focus.

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarationssurveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.
