Training · On-site and online · Companies and public sector
Training in ISO 27001, ENS (all categories) and security awareness, after an implementation or on request. On-site with trainers who travel to your organisation, or online and self-paced on our platform — delivered by the same team that implements and audits these standards for real clients.
Choose the format that fits your team — or combine them. The content and the rigour are the same; what changes is how it reaches your people.
Trainers who travel to your organisation.
Tailored sessions delivered by professionals who implement these standards every day. We adapt content, examples and duration to your team, your sector and your context — with the live interaction and questions a technical course needs.
At your own pace, on our own platform.
Each person joins when they can and progresses at their own pace, with progress tracking. Ideal for giving the whole workforce a solid baseline, onboarding new joiners or reinforcing awareness continuously, with no limit on attendees.
The vast majority of security incidents have a human component: a click on a phishing email, a reused password, a transfer authorised on the back of a CEO-fraud message, or data shared by mistake. Technology stops a great deal, but not everything — in the end, the decision to click or not is made by a person.
That is why the human factor is at once the most exploited attack surface and the most cost-effective to strengthen. No tool replaces a team that recognises a deception attempt and knows what to do when in doubt: you can invest heavily in technology and still be vulnerable if people are not prepared. An attacker does not need to break the encryption if someone opens the door for them.
Good training is not an annual talk that is forgotten within a week. It is turning every person in the organisation into a first line of defence that spots and reports. The metric that really matters is not how many people fall for a simulation, but how many report it in time — and that is only achieved by training continuously, segmented by role and with real cases, not with a generic video nobody remembers.
Training in security standards — after their implementation or on request — and in the human factor. All available on-site and online.
Management system
Interpreting the standard, Annex A controls, risk management and internal audit preparation. For security and IT leads and the teams who have to keep the ISMS alive once it has been implemented.
Public sector compliance
The Spanish ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad) tailored to the applicable category (BASIC, MEDIUM or HIGH): compliance profile, the measures set out in Royal Decree 311/2022, evidence and keeping conformity current so you can tender for and operate with the public sector.
The human factor
The link no standard patches: people. Sessions for the whole organisation on phishing, passwords, social engineering and good practice, as a one-off or as a continuous programme with simulations and reporting metrics.
Tailored · on request
After implementing a standard or on request, we design the training around your organisation's real context: NIS2, DORA, incident management, business continuity or whatever framework you need, using the material and cases from your own environment.
For many organisations, training their staff is not a nice-to-have best practice: it is an explicit obligation of the standard they must comply with. Virtually every security and compliance framework includes training and awareness as a mandatory control — and its absence translates into a non-conformity at audit.
The standard itself requires staff competence (clause 7.2), awareness (clause 7.3) and the awareness, education and training control (A.6.3). Without evidence of training, there is no certification.
Includes specific staff awareness and training measures. It is a requirement for conformity and to bid for and operate with the Spanish public sector.
Requires management bodies to undergo cybersecurity training (Art. 20) and entities to offer training and basic cyber hygiene to their staff (Art. 21).
Requires ICT security awareness programmes and digital operational resilience training as compulsory modules in staff training schemes (Art. 13).
Staff training and awareness form part of the accountability principle and of the tasks of the data protection officer (Art. 39).
Requires implementing and maintaining a formal security awareness programme for all staff (Requirement 12.6).
The pattern repeats across all of them: implementing the controls is not enough if the people who operate them are not trained. Training is what makes compliance on paper hold up — and stand up to an auditor — in real practice. That is why so many organisations ask us for training right after implementing the standard: so the team genuinely sustains it, not just on certification day.
Since 2013
A Spanish cybersecurity and compliance firm, not a training academy: we train from real practice.
ENS HIGH · 5 ISO
Certified in ENS HIGH category and in 5 ISO standards. We train on what we ourselves comply with.
Practitioners
Delivered by the people who implement and audit these standards every week for real clients, not just lecturers.
01
We work out which standard, which roles and what level you need — and whether the training is post-implementation or on request.
02
We prepare the programme, materials and cases, adapted to your sector and your real context.
03
On-site in-company, online and self-paced on the platform, or a combination of both as best suits you.
04
Certificate of attainment and, where appropriate, continuous follow-up with metrics — especially for awareness.
Both. We offer on-site, in-company training with trainers who travel to you and adapt the session to your team and your context; and online, self-paced training on our own platform, so each person can work through it at their own pace. Many organisations combine the two: the self-paced course to give the whole workforce a baseline and the on-site sessions for key roles.
For many organisations, yes. Standards such as ISO 27001, the Spanish ENS, NIS2, DORA, the GDPR and PCI DSS include staff training and awareness as a mandatory control, not a recommendation, and its absence is a non-conformity at audit. Beyond the obligation, it is one of the highest-return security investments there is: it strengthens the most exploited point of all — people.
ISO 27001, the Spanish ENS (Esquema Nacional de Seguridad) across all its categories — BASIC, MEDIUM and HIGH —, security awareness for the whole workforce, and tailored training on frameworks such as NIS2, DORA, incident management or business continuity. If you need training on a specific standard or topic, we design it.
Yes, and it is one of the most common requests. An implemented standard only holds up if the people who operate it understand it. Post-implementation training transfers the knowledge of the ISMS or the ENS to the client's team so they can genuinely maintain it, with material tailored to the specific implementation carried out.
It can be either. A one-off session raises the bar immediately; a continuous programme — with regular phishing simulations, role-based training and reporting metrics — is what really changes behaviour over the long term. We size it around your objective and your workforce.
Yes. On completion we issue a Hard2bit certificate of attainment for the training. It is important to distinguish it from the official certification of the standard (ISO 27001, ENS), which is issued by an accredited body after an audit: our training prepares and equips your team, but certifying against the standard is a separate process that we also help you reach.
We adapt the level and scope: from awareness for the whole workforce to technical training for security, IT or management leads. On-site, in-company training is sized by group; online, self-paced training scales with no limit on attendees. We match the depth to the real profile of each audience.
The same team that implements and audits these standards for real clients. They are not purely academic trainers: they are professionals who work with ISO 27001, ENS and incident response every week. We train on what we ourselves comply with — Hard2bit is certified in ENS HIGH category and in 5 ISO standards — so the training comes with cases and judgement from practice, not just theory.
Tell us which standard, which roles and what format you need — on-site, online or both — and we will put together a tailored training proposal, with cases from your own context.
