Protect your Memphis, TN, and DeSoto County, MS business (and beyond) with End User Security Awareness Training from Goodwin PC Services. Our experts teach your employees to recognize and respond to cybersecurity threats through interactive modules, newsletters, posters, videos, games, and activities.
Your employees pose a huge risk to your organization. The vast majority of successful cyberattacks enter networks by tricking office workers or slipping past them unnoticed. Teaching your employees to spot the most common schemes hackers use will do more for your company's security than any piece of software, which is why we've developed our comprehensive security awareness training program.
Employee Security Risks
- Phishing Attacks
Phishing emails are designed to trick employees into clicking malicious links, downloading infected attachments, or revealing sensitive information. These attacks are the most common entry point for hackers and can lead to ransomware infections, data breaches, and compromised credentials. - Social Engineering
Hackers use social engineering tactics to manipulate employees into breaking security procedures. Whether through phone calls, emails, or in-person interactions, attackers exploit trust and urgency to gain access to your systems and data. - Weak Passwords & Credential Theft
Poor password practices create easy opportunities for attackers. Employees who reuse passwords, write them down, or fall for credential-stealing scams can inadvertently give hackers the keys to your entire network. - Unintentional Data Exposure
Without proper training, employees may accidentally expose sensitive data through unsecured file sharing, misdirected emails, or careless handling of confidential information. These mistakes can result in compliance violations and data breaches.
Why Security Training Matters
If your business stores customer data, handles sensitive information, or must comply with regulations like HIPAA or PCI DSS, security awareness training is essential. A trained workforce is your best defense against the cyberattacks that no software can completely prevent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do employees need security awareness training?
Most cyberattacks succeed by exploiting human error. Training employees to recognize threats like phishing emails and social engineering tactics is one of the most effective ways to protect your business.
What is phishing simulation training?
Phishing simulations send safe, realistic phishing emails to test employees' ability to spot threats. When employees click on a simulated phishing link, they receive immediate education on what they missed and how to recognize future attacks.
How often should employees be trained?
Initial training should be followed by regular refresher courses at least quarterly, plus ongoing phishing simulations throughout the year. Continuous education keeps security awareness fresh and adapts to new threats.
Is security training required for compliance?
Many regulations require security awareness training, including HIPAA for healthcare, PCI DSS for businesses handling credit cards, and SOC 2 for service organizations. Even without regulatory requirements, training is often necessary for cyber insurance coverage.
How long does training take?
Initial training typically takes 30-60 minutes per employee. Ongoing training includes shorter monthly modules (10-15 minutes), regular phishing simulations, and security communications designed to fit into busy schedules.
Can training be customized for our business?
Yes. We customize training based on your industry, specific threats, and compliance requirements. Training can also be tailored for different roles and departments within your organization.
