Running security awareness across sites often means inconsistent messaging, low engagement, and wasted effort, despite good intentions.

The situation this course is for

Security teams deploy global campaigns, but local teams ignore them. Regional leads want relevance, not mandates. Compliance is met, but behavior doesn’t change. Without a cross-functional model, awareness stays siloed and ineffective.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals responsible for security governance, risk management, or compliance across multiple locations or departments.

Who this is not for

This is not for individual contributors running standalone awareness sessions or those seeking certification prep.

What you walk away with

  • Design a security awareness program that scales across sites and functions
  • Align stakeholders without formal authority
  • Localize content while maintaining compliance integrity
  • Measure engagement and behavior change across regions
  • Build a sustainable playbook for continuous improvement
