Security Awareness Training for Vail Valley Teams

Vail Valley IT provides cybersecurity awareness training for employees at businesses across Eagle County: short online lessons, simulated phishing emails, and completion reports. It is built to change behavior and to check the box auditors and insurers look for, since HIPAA, the FTC Safeguards Rule, PCI DSS and most cyber insurance carriers expect documented security training for every staff member.

Training that people actually finish

Hour-long annual videos get skipped. Our program uses a short onboarding course for new hires, then brief monthly or quarterly lessons of a few minutes each on the threats valley businesses actually see: invoice and wire fraud, fake login pages, gift-card scams, QR-code phishing, MFA fatigue attacks and AI-generated voice and email impersonation.

Simulated phishing emails test what people do in their real inbox. Anyone who clicks gets an immediate, judgment-free micro-lesson. Over time, click rates fall and reporting rates rise, and you can see both in the reports.

Checks the compliance box, with proof

Security awareness training is an explicit requirement in several rules our clients face:

  • HIPAA requires a security awareness and training program for the entire workforce.
  • The FTC Safeguards Rule requires security awareness training for staff.
  • PCI DSS requires a security awareness program, reviewed at least annually.
  • Cyber insurance applications routinely ask whether staff are trained and phish-tested.

You get completion records by employee, phishing simulation results and an annual summary, ready to attach to an audit, an insurance application or your risk assessment.

Built for seasonal teams

Mountain businesses onboard waves of seasonal staff. New hires are enrolled automatically when their account is created, complete a short onboarding course in their first week, and are removed when they leave, so your records stay accurate without anyone chasing paperwork.

Signs it’s time for Security Awareness Training

  • Your insurer or auditor asked for training records.
  • Staff have clicked phishing links or bought gift cards for a fake “boss.”
  • New hires never receive any security training.
  • You handle patient, financial or card data.
  • Your last training was a one-time video years ago.

Frequently asked questions

Is security awareness training required by law?

For many businesses, yes. HIPAA requires it for covered entities and business associates, the FTC Safeguards Rule requires it for covered financial businesses, and PCI DSS requires it for merchants. Cyber insurers commonly require it as a condition of coverage.

How often should employees get security awareness training?

Onboarding training for every new hire plus recurring training at least annually is the baseline. Short monthly or quarterly lessons with phishing simulations work far better than a single annual session.

What is a phishing simulation?

A safe, realistic test email sent to staff to see who clicks or enters credentials. It measures real-world behavior and turns mistakes into immediate training instead of real incidents.

Do you provide proof of training for audits and insurers?

Yes. You receive completion records by employee, phishing results and an annual summary that can be filed as evidence.

Can training be done in Spanish?

Multilingual training content is commonly available from training platforms; ask during your assessment and we will confirm options for your team.
