People often under estimate the amount of planning required to establish a high-impact security awareness program. If your goal is just compliance, you can get away with pretty minimal planning. But if you want to make a difference, if you want to truly have an impact and change behavior, you need to plan. However, many people do not know where to start, or if they d0 they quickly become overwhelmed with all the different steps involved, from gaining stake holder support to identifying learning objectives and communication methods. Fortunately, there is a free resource to solve all these problems and more, the Security Awareness Planning Kit. This free kits outlines all the steps to building a high-impact security awareness program.
