Master insider threats, security awareness, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, GDPR & behavioral psychology to reduce human risk
What you'll learn
Build a Human Risk Management program using GRC frameworks mapped to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA Design and measure security awareness programs using behavioral psychology - reducing click rates, not just ticking compliance boxes Implement an insider threat program with UEBA behavioral indicators, legal guardrails, and forensic evidence preservation protocols Run phishing simulations, analyze results, and use failure data to drive targeted training decisions for high-risk employee segments Respond to human-caused incidents - phishing compromise, insider theft, BEC wire fraud - using specialized IR playbooks Calculate Human Risk Scores and build executive dashboards showing risk reduction in monetary terms for board-level reporting Write security policies employees actually read and follow using plain language, visual hierarchy, and behavioral design principles Apply breach notification rules correctly - GDPR 72-hour clock, HIPAA 60-day rule - and manage regulatory obligations post-incidentRequirements
No GRC, compliance, or security awareness experience required - the course builds everything from the ground up Basic familiarity with cybersecurity concepts (what a breach is, what phishing means) is helpful but not essential No technical background needed - this course is equally relevant for security managers, HR, legal, compliance, and IT professionals An open mind toward behavioral science - this course explains the human side of security, not just tools and frameworksDescription
Are you ready to tackle the #1 cause of security breaches - human behavior?
82% of all data breaches involve a human element. Phishing, insider threats, social engineering, accidental data exposure - no firewall stops them. The only defense is a structured, measurable Human Risk Management program built on behavioral science, GRC frameworks, and compliance controls.
This course gives you the complete system - from the psychology of why employees make security mistakes to building an ISO 27001-aligned GRC framework, running phishing simulations, detecting insider threats, and measuring risk reduction with executive-ready dashboards.

What Makes Human Risk Different?
Technical controls assume threats come from outside. Human risk lives inside - in the employee who clicks a phishing link, the contractor who exfiltrates data, the manager who approves a fraudulent wire transfer. Traditional security programs treat this as a training problem. This course shows you it is a systems problem - and gives you the systems to solve it.

What You Will Learn
Understand the psychology of security behavior - cognitive biases, dual-process thinking, habit loops, and security fatigue that make employees vulnerable Build a GRC framework (Governance, Risk & Compliance) that specifically addresses human risk alongside technical controls Map human risk controls to ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA Requirements Design and measure a security awareness program that changes real behavior - not just checkbox compliance Implement an insider threat program with behavioral indicators, UEBA tools, and legal guardrails Run targeted phishing simulations and use failure data to drive training decisions Build a security culture through champions programs, leadership engagement, and communication strategies Define KPIs, dashboards, and executive reports that demonstrate risk reduction in monetary terms Develop security policies that employees actually read, understand, and follow Respond to human-caused incidents - phishing compromise, insider data theft, BEC, data mishandling - with targeted IR playbooks Understand breach notification obligations - GDPR 72-hour clock, HIPAA 60-day rule, US state law variations Conduct root cause analysis on human-caused incidents that produces systemic improvements, not just blame---
Practical Tools and Templates
Security awareness program design framework - needs assessment, content mapping, delivery channels, measurement Phishing simulation metrics - click rate, report rate, repeat offender tracking, simulation-to-training pipeline Insider threat behavioral indicators checklist - technical and behavioral signals, UEBA alert thresholds Human Risk Score formula - aggregate behavioral, training, and incident data into a per-employee risk score Policy writing template - plain language, visual hierarchy, acknowledgement tracking IR playbook templates - for phishing compromise, insider theft, BEC wire fraud, data mishandling Executive dashboard KPIs - Mean Time to Detect, training completion rates, click rate trends, incident reduction %---
