From Box-Ticking to Risk-Driven HRM
Traditional training treats people as liabilities. HRM treats them as part of your defensive strategy: identifying high-risk users, automatically closing knowledge gaps and providing ongoing risk scoring and compliance evidence.
81% of ransomware attacks start at the endpoint, with people clicking phishing emails, using weak passwords or falling for social engineering. Your firewalls and antivirus software won’t stop what your team inadvertently invites through the door.
How HRM Works
Evaluate: Identify human risk through a 15-minute baseline assessment that pinpoints each team member’s specific vulnerabilities.
Educate: Deliver tailored micro-learning focused on each person’s weaknesses. Weak on recognising phishing emails? Strong on password security but confused about two-factor authentication? The system builds a personalised training roadmap.
Calculate: Track improvements and real-time risk scores across the organisation. Management sees aggregate security improvements without singling out individuals.
Demonstrate: Generate compliance-ready reports for GDPR audits and ISO 27001 requirements.
The platform takes care of the heavy lifting by automating phishing simulations, monitoring dark web breaches and tracking policy acknowledgments — all managed on your behalf. It’s built for simplicity, offering quick setup, automatic reminders, a library of ready-to-use courses and policy templates.
When someone clicks a simulated phishing email, they aren’t scolded. Instead, they receive an immediate, actionable lesson that explains what they missed and how to spot it next time. Every mistake becomes a learning opportunity — not a moment for shame.
Why This Matters for SMEs
For small and medium businesses, HRM delivers enterprise-grade protection without enterprise overhead.
Instead of hiring compliance officers, you get an automated, measurable programme that proves your people are becoming safer every month — at £2.50 per person per month.
Large enterprises can afford dedicated security teams running sophisticated training programmes. SMEs need something that works without requiring internal expertise to manage. That’s why we’ve built Human Firewall as a fully managed service.
The Regulatory Context
GDPR requires demonstrable security awareness training as part of your data protection obligations. Our Human Firewall service provides the documentation and evidence your compliance team needs.
Beyond Compliance: Your Cyber-Insurance for Human Behaviour
Think of HRM as your cyber-insurance for human behaviour. You hope you never need it, but if you skip it, the cost of a breach (financial, reputational and regulatory) could cut far deeper than any office fire.
The real value isn’t ticking compliance boxes. It lies in genuinely reducing your organisation’s vulnerability to social engineering attacks. When your team becomes skilled at spotting phishing attempts, recognising suspicious requests and following secure authentication practices, you’ve built a defensive layer no technology can provide.
That’s your Human Firewall: people who actively protect your business because they understand the risks and know how to respond.
Getting Started
Implementing Human Risk Management shouldn’t require months of planning and internal resources. We handle everything: platform setup, user onboarding, automated campaign management, and progress reporting.
Your team receives personalised training that actually reduces risk. Your management team receives evidence of improving organisational security posture. Your compliance team receives documentation demonstrating security training obligations met.
At £2.50 per person per month, it’s the most cost-effective security enhancement most SMEs aren’t yet implementing, but should be.
