This month we have been talking to a client that already has a robust security presence, but wanted to further understand the security culture that exists with their business. Our client already had strong security measures, certifications, and controls in place, but they wanted to go further. They’re asking the question:
“Do our people truly understand why security matters to our business?
When people understand the purpose behind what they do, they’re far more likely to engage, take ownership, and make better decisions. That’s where our Security Culture Review comes in.
Security Culture: Beyond Ticking Boxes
Security awareness isn’t about completing an annual training or passing a quiz. It’s about creating a cultural shift, where secure behaviour must become part of how the business operates on a day-to-day basis. Conducting a comprehensive Security Culture Reviews help to assess how effectively cybersecurity awareness, behaviours, and practices are embedded across the organisation.
We want to move from compliance-driven security to a culture-driven mindset. This means focusing on values, understanding, and shared responsibility, not just procedures.
Why Assessing Culture Matters
Certifications demonstrate capability. But assessing culture shows accountability. The objective is to identify strengths and gaps in a company’s current security culture, benchmark against recognised best practices, and provide a clear roadmap for enhancing employee engagement, accountability, and overall security.
A Security Culture Review helps to identify:
- What people believe about security
- How they behave day-to-day
- Where leadership, communication, or training can make the most impact
How can we help?
Our tailored Security Culture Review is designed to evaluate how your organisation’s people, policies, and practices support a strong cybersecurity mindset.
We examine key areas such as:
- Employee awareness and training
- Communication of security policies
- Incident response readiness
- Leadership engagement
- Behavioral alignment with security best practices
By undertaking a Security Culture Review, we can identify cultural weaknesses, reinforce positive behaviours, and build confidence that security awareness is effectively embedded across all levels. Want to know more about how we can help your organisation to build a resilient, informed, and empowered workforce that understands why security is everyone’s responsibility (not just ITs!)?
