Achieve positive business outcomes
 Your interest in NoticeBored presumably reflects a desire to
raise awareness of security but think about it: is heightened security awareness really your goal? Generally speaking, the objective of information security as a whole, including security
awareness, is to achieve a positive outcome for the organization, meaning two things:
Reducing costs, specifically the net result of reducing or avoiding losses through security incidents, less the amount invested in security controls. Reducing risks and increasing management confidence in the system of controls. This element includes compliance with myriad legal and regulatory obligations
relevant to information security and IT governance.
Simply “being aware” of security is not the same as being secure: to us, it is merely a step on the way towards the ultimate objective. We see security awareness as a means of
informing employees, helping them understand and commit to their security responsibilities, motivating them to change the way they behave and finally achieving that positive outcome we set out to achieve.
NoticeBored - a deceptively simple idea
NoticeBored, the pioneering security awareness content service from IsecT Ltd, is based on a deceptively simple idea: the rolling awareness program. Genuine cultural change is not something one can achieve
overnight so we invented a novel approach - a continuous security awareness program rather than the usual
one-off “sheep dip” or sporadic awareness and training episodes with which most of us are familiar.
NoticeBored covers a sustained sequence of information security topics. Month-by-month, your employees
gradually become familiar with information security as a whole. Each topic is consistent with and
complementary to the others and there’s always something fresh and interesting to read. No more boring
old security notices here! The modules explain all aspects of information security in a consistent and
engaging style, informing and encouraging people to take a greater interest in information security, gradually making security an inherent part of the corporate culture.
Practical help for busy IT and Information Security Managers
Security awareness is almost invariably just one item on a long list of priorities for the busy Information
Security Manager, assuming that there is someone dedicated to that role. Information security is often a
part time job for the IT person in medium sized enterprises, and just a pipe dream for most small firms.
While some leading organizations have the luxury of a dedicated security awareness team, in practice they spend a lot of time administering training courses at multiple locations.
NoticeBored is a boon for organizations of all sizes. We research the topics, conceive and write the
awareness materials, then polish and package them so “all you have to do” is use them. Leave the creative
work to us, and put your effort into face-to-face interaction with employees, building the security culture and in many cases tending to the technical security controls (busy bees!).
